“Thanks again to the boat captain Antonio and his assistant Valentina for this beautiful moment. It has actually been much better than what we were expecting because they take care of you but they also explain and show you some incredible landscapes. We were also a very good group as the captain said and we even have spent more time in the water than planned. We truly recommend it !”

3.Vesuvius National Park Skip-the-Line Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 221 reviews · from $25Best value

Skip the line at Vesuvius with phone-delivered tickets for direct entry, then hike at your own pace for big Naples views.

“Lovely walk on a hot day. The view from the mouth / top was stunning. The BEST way to say see Naples from above. Bring sensible footwear and water. Note: this ticket does not include parking which is €7. You can then choose to spend €3/person on the shuttle bus to the trail head. We walked. Took us 20 mins up, 20 mins down. We enjoy walking so that was better for us and the weather was lovely. The actual hike itself takes about 30mins from gates to top - depending on fitness. Quite busy at the top with tourists, naturally.Read more”
