Rising boldly above the Bay of Naples, Mount Vesuvius is one of the world’s most iconic volcanoes—both a natural wonder and a powerful symbol of nature’s force. Famous for its eruption in 79 AD that buried the cities of Pompei and Herculaneum, Vesuvius today offers a thrilling mix of geology, history, and adventure. Hike to the summit through lunar-like landscapes, peer into the massive crater, and take in sweeping views that stretch from the Amalfi Coast to Naples. A visit to Vesuvius is more than a trek—it's a journey into the heart of one of history’s most dramatic stories.
