About this activity
Explore two of Italy's most iconic landmarks in a single day: the remarkably preserved Roman city of Pompeii, frozen in time by Vesuvius's 79 AD eruption, and the volcano itself. This combined archaeological and natural experience includes guided walks through ancient streets and bathhouses, a wine tasting on volcanic slopes, and a summit hike with panoramic views.
Take the chance to visit in just one day the ruins of the lost city of Pompeii, the most famous archaeological site in the world and to hike on the volcano Vesuvius “the Big Giant”,which caused the destruction of this city in 79 AD. You will walk along the ruins admiring wonders, such as:Stabian baths,frescos of the Lupanare,the Macellum and the Basilica.Enjoy a light lunch with wine tasting at the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Vesuvian wine has ancient origins: a trail filled with aromas and beliefs, all played around a new Nectarof the Gods. The ancient grape growers exploited the potential of the wineries of the volcano’s land, planting the grapevine variety called “Lacryma Christi”. After lunch, reach the summit of crater and enjoy the explanation made by a professional guide of the National Park. You will admire the top of Mount Somma (1133 m) and to the right the cone of Vesuvius (1281 m). Mt Vesuvius is majestic and stunning at the same time!

Insider tips
- ★Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking boots—Vesuvius's volcanic terrain is sharp and uneven, especially near the crater
- ★Start early in the day; afternoon heat on the exposed volcanic slopes is intense, and views from the summit are clearest in morning light
- ★The Lacryma Christi wines are produced using ancient Roman techniques; ask the winery staff about the specific vineyard's history during tasting
