ExperiencesMount Vesuvius

Mount Vesuvius is the only active volcano on mainland Europe and towers imposingly over the Gulf of Naples. Its history is marked by numerous eruptions, including the legendary one in 79 AD that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum under a thick layer of ash and pumice. The last significant eruption occurred in 1944. Today, Vesuvius is protected as a national park and is covered with lush vegetation. It is renowned not only for its natural landscape but also for its vineyards, which produce fine wines like the famous "Lacrima Christi." A visit to its slopes, leading up to the crater where a spectacular panoramic view of the entire Bay of Naples unfolds, is an unforgettable experience not to be missed.
