Book nowVisiting Pompeii has its charm, but to make the day truly unforgettable, it is also worth visiting Mount Vesuvius or taking a quick trip to Naples, which is only thirty kilometers away.
There are packages that allow you to purchase a ticket for both the excavations and the volcano which covered the city in lava in 79 A.D. In autumn and winter, Mount Vesuvius is closed, so you will be taken to Naples instead. If it rains, the group will visit the covered National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
