Furore to Naples and Mount Vesuvius: Private day trip

Although Naples is one of the oldest cities in Italy, it looks quite young. Naples has touches of old architecture and charm but the heart of the city has plenty of high rises, and tall building complexes because it was the most bombed Italian city in World War II. Even with recent rebuilds, Naples has beautiful opera and theatre houses. From the popular film Eat, Pray, Love, Julia Roberts travels to Naples to try some of the original wood fired Neapolitan pizza. Take a visit to the Piazza del Gesu or one of the many popular churches just a stone's throw from the main train station. Naples port is one of the busiest of Italy so be sure to watch all the cruise ships go in and out while you enjoy a gelato on the promenade.

Perhaps best known for its infamous eruption on August 24, 79 AD, which destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, this dormant volcano is now a national park - layering a unique natural environment over a shroud of history. The fateful eruption left a large crater that has fluctuated in size with each subsequent eruption. Since 1995, the volcano has been a national park, requiring visitors to walk 15-20 minutes up to the crater’s rim. At the top, visitors can walk around the crater to appreciate the contrasting views of Vesuvius’ moon-like landscape, and stunning views of the Bay of Naples.
