.
To best visit Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mt. Vesuvius from Naples, you should dedicate at least two days to these sights. If you have limited time, however, you can fill a single day with a trip up to the peak of Mt. Vesuvius paired with a visit to one of the two archaeological sights, either Pompeii or Herculaneum.
.
Take advantage of your time in Naples to strike out beyond the city limits and explore some of the top sights in the surrounding area, including the volcanic crater on top of Mt. Vesuvius and the archaeological sites in Pompei and Herculaneum, the two spectacular Roman cities that buried under ash and mud when Mt. Vesuvius erupted thousands of years ago and have been preserved largely intact.

HOW TO VISIT POMPEII - HERCULANEUM AND Mt. VESUVIUS FROM NAPLES
I suggest visiting Mt. Vesuvius first thing in the morning, taking a break for a lunch featuring traditional products and dishes from the slopes of Vesuvius, and dedicating the afternoon to one of the Roman cities buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. You can also switch your day between morning and afternoon, especially if you book a private driver, and visit the archaeological ruins in the morning.
.
HOW TO VISIT VESUVIUS FROM NAPLES
The peak of Mt. Vesuvius towers above the National Park of the same name, set just outside the Naples city limits. You can visit the crater with a guide or on your own, but either way there is a rather steep trail to the crater edge that takes about an hour to climb. Plan on at least 3 hours and try to avoid the hottest hours of the day in summer when the high temperatures, lack of shade, and steep climb can be less than pleasant.
.
HOW TO GET TO Mt. VESUVIUS FROM NAPLES WITH PUBLIC TRASPORTATION
To reach Mt. Vesuvius from Naples via public transportation, first take the local Circumvesuviana train from the lower level of the Stazione Centrale train station in Piazza Garibaldi (tap in tap out available or buy the ticket at tobacco shop or ticket seller inside the train station ). Board the line to Sorrento and get off at the Ercolano Scavi or Pompei Villa dei Misteri stop. From here, take the shuttle buses that take passengers up to the park entrance (tickets: EUR 22 round trip, including park entrance). From Pompeii, in addition to the shuttle buses, there is also a local EAV bus that departs every 50 minutes for Mt. Vesuvius ( ticket on board ).
.
Once you have purchased your ticket at the park ticket office, you can either take the path to the crater's edge on your own or hire a volcanologist guide to take the Gran Cono trail that encircles the entire crater.

A TRADITIONAL LUNCH NEAR VESUVIUS + WINE TASTING
.
After visiting Mt. Vesuvius and before heading to Pompeii or Herculaneum, i suggest you stop for lunch on the slopes of the volcano, known for centuries for its fertile farmland and mild climate.
.
If you are a wine lover, you can visit one of the family-run wineries set at the foot of the volcano. La Cantina del Vesuvio, for example, is set virtually halfway between the mountain peak and the ruins of Pompeii and offers guided visits of the winery, tastings, and lunch. If you don't have a car, the winery also offers shuttle service to and from the estate.

HOW TO VISIT POMPEII OR HERCULANEUM FROM NAPLES
.
After your hike to the Mt. Vesuvius crater and a traditional winery lunch, you'll be ready to continue on to one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world: the ruins of Pompeii or Herculaneum. You may be tempted to try to fit in a visit to both in one afternoon, but the ruins are vast and visiting can be tiring, especially during the hottest days of summer. Unless you are particularly passionate about ancient history, I suggest you choose one of the two sites to visit and not try to take on both in a single day.
.
Consider that you will need at least 3 to 4 hours to visit the top sights in Pompeii.
.
FAQ QUESTION : SHOULD I VISIT POMPEII OR HERCULANEUM ?
The ruins of Pompeii are by far the larger and more famous site, but can also be more crowded. Herculaneum is home to equally spectacular ruins, but is smaller and less crowded so you can see more in less time. Herculaneum is also closer to downtown Naples.
.
Pompeii offers a route suitable for those with limited mobility that begins at the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance and covers a large portion of the ruins.
.
HOW TO REACH POMPEII OR HERCULANEUM BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
From Naples train station take Circumvesuviana train . Get off at Pompei - Villa dei Misteri (the entrance to the archaeological park is located directly opposite the station) or "'Ercolano Scavi"' (follow the indications for Herculaneum, about a 10-minute walk from the station). If you plan on stopping for lunch at Cantina del Vesuvio or another local winery, you can request a transfer to your next destination in advance.
.
MY TIP FOR HERCULANEUM AND POMPEII
- Bring a day bag with food and water (Large bags and backpacks are not allowed inside the park for security reasons (maximum size is 30x30x15)
- Comfy shoes (flat shoes) + Hat
- Book a Professional tour guide ( or at least an audio guide)
- Wear sunscreen
