We went on an arranged trip.  The coach dropped us off at the bottom of Vesuvius and we walked the 30 minutes uphill to get to the top. Pace yourself!  It’s not an easy walk to the top although I noted there were a lot of older people doing it (50s, 60s and even 70s!) I was impressed so no need to cop out.  When you get to the top it’s all worth it to see inside the crater which was smoking.  It was a great experience.  There are a few little shops up there selling bits made from lava.

Great experience, worth the walk up!

What an experience.  My son has always wanted to go to the top of Vesuvius, but due to being so unfit I’d always persuaded him not to.  This year though, got in shape and done it and it was fantastic.   Great views in and around the volcano.  It is a hike to get to top but once there it’s amazing.   A must do for the sights and the scenery.  
We tied this in with a wine tasting and lunch that was very welcome on way back to Sorrento.  
Highly recommended.

Wow… Volcano-tastic…!

There are horror stories about having to take the Circum-whatever train to the bus shuttle, so we decided to take a taxi from the hotel for a fixed price of $100 euro round trip -- the taxi driver waits two hours but will wait an additional amount of time at 25 euro per hour. He takes you as far up as you can go -- roughly 45 minutes from the hotel in Downtown Napoli to the "base camp". It's alot per person this way, but you avoid the uncertainty of missing a bus. The summit itself only took 45 minutes round trip -- additional time to stop and get a snack at one of the three souvenir shops. 

Recommend that you take a private taxi

Was lovely climbing the volcano. Great views from the peak and there was lots of room to take pictures. Would definitely recommend for family and friends , can be slightly tiring though when walking to try and teach the top. But overall worth it.

Beautiful views

After the disappointment of Pompeii in the morning a much better experience walking up the summit of the volcano.

We had pre-booked tickets and had transport to the entrance. It took us about 25 minutes to get to the end of the path situated by the third bar! Although allow about 2 hours there and back, stopping for photo opportunities and a quick drink at the summit. Prices are very reasonable for the location. I think Brecon Beacons National Park is missing a trick with no bar on Pen Y Fan the highest peak where I live in South Wales lol

I have been fortunate enough to climb volcanoes, in Central, South America and Iceland and this was just as magical as those experiences. It is also accessible to most with some level of fitness just go at a pace you are comfortable with. Plenty of bars and cafes at the entrance, just be aware there are no free toilet facilities located there. You will have to purchase a drink to use the toilet facilities. Other than that a fantastic afternoon.

Fantastic walk up to the volcano summit with some beautiful views in addition to the walking experience

Got the train from Sorrento to Pompeii then joined a bus tour from just outside the station. This takes you close to the summit and although I have seen many reports of a 20 minute walk to the top you really need to allow an hour and 20 minutes to walk back down - and I am reasonably fit!

Great experience

You see the thing all holiday so may as well have a walk up it!

You need book in advance, hotel sorted our time & ticket. We didn't get told much but the reality is you need give yourself at least 40 minutes to get to the entrance. The parking, which was included in the ticket, is a fair walk (uphill to the entrance).

You can jump in a minibus for a few euro each from the car park to the entrance, they run practically every 10 minutes and are waiting at the car park entrance/exit.

After the entrance you make your way on a path up to the top & walk around half of the ridge line. Views are spectacular & was well with the effort - which isn't much. Not cooler at the top & trainers are a must due to the obvious volcanic rock you're walking on. 

Go earlier than your ticket! 

Walking on Vesuvio volcano was definitely a high recommanded experience!!! As my husband said "I can imagine walking on the moon", to give you an idea!! Bus is leaving from Pompei Scavi train station. It takes about 45 minutes to arrive to the parking. Then about 30 minutes to walk to the top. It has been amazing and we all loved it!!! Seeing the smoke was impressive as well!! Our kids (8 and 12) loved it too. Just plan a rain jakcket in case of! The day we have been, it was sunny in Pompei, and yet it has been raining at the top. All in one, just go!!!!

Amazing experience!!

I was lucky as we had booked our trip through First choice cars Sorrento who knew how complex it was to book here. So firstly if you want to go - go online to via tickets and book a slot. We booked 10am and it took 1hour 15 to get there by car from Sorrento. If you have someone who drives you there they can drop you at the point where u can then walk the last 283 metres to the crater. They can’t park there but they can drive back down to a parking point that they also need to prebook for 10 Euros. If u park there you can pay for a shuttle bus to take you to the point to which u walk to. So book both prior. 
Print out tickets/ bring ID and in case bring your green pass ( Covid vaccination) they only asked for ID and tickets
Wear a mask. Light warm jacket. Good shoes and small bottle of water. It took me and my kids 20min to get to the top. 2 shops on the way. Quite a tiring walk due to the incline but worth the view !
Use toilets elsewhere prior to going

Worth it but get organised

What an experience is all I can say, I was going to give up and had to stop on a number of occasions but I made it after taking my inhaler and fighting in. We took the train from seanio to Ercolano and at this point and then paid for the coach to take us up the mountain, we paid €20 each and this included the coach and the cost for the entry to the mountain. It was great because it took us most of the way up, we passed women in flip flops and one woman who had a baby strapped to her back, I take my hat of too you cause I was struggling. 

It nearly killed me but fantastic
