Trips & tickets
Most Vesuvius products are the same crater ticket wrapped in different transport. These are the ones that genuinely differ, and what to check before booking.

A bus up to about 1,000 m, then the walk to the crater and along its rim. Departs from Pompeii or Naples, with the entry ticket included.
