How to Visit Pompeii and Vesuvius in One Day | 2022 Review and Travel Guide
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2022
- There are tons of tour companies offering day trips to the ancient city of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. This video gives you a practical guide for how you can visit both of these locations by yourself in one day.
Pompeii was one of the towns destroyed when Mount Vesuvius erupted in the year 79 AD. But that wasn't the only time Vesuvius has erupted - it's erupted dozens of times throughout the centuries. In fact, Mount Vesuvius is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.
In this video I give you a practical guide for how you can visit Pompeii and Vesuvius in a single day, from either Naples or Rome. I offer recommendations for transport, suggested times to aim for, and things you need to think about before beginning your climb of Vesuvius in the afternoon.
To give you a sneak preview of what you can find at both of these places this video also gives you the history of Pompeii and surrounding towns, and shows you what you can find among the ruins. For example, a lot of dirty graffiti from ancient times. You can also expect some magnificent views from the road up Mount Vesuvius - and from the peak.

Thank you, very useful.

Really good video. My daughter and I watching it on our TV in the living room!!! Pompeii is on our bucket list
Thank you, so happy to hear that! And Pompeii was really interesting - so fascinating to see such a well-preserved ancient city :D
Thank you so much for the informative and fun video! My best friend and I are taking a trip to Rome and Sorrento and it's a DREAM to go to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius sounds like a great add-on to the day!
That sounds like a brilliant trip - I wish I was in Italy again right now instead of in the cold north :D Cheers, and thank you!
Great video. Thank you
Thank you so much! :D Appreciate it!
Great video! Planning our Sept trip and this has helped loads 👍👍👍
Really happy to hear that! 😀 Hope you'll have an awesome trip there!
we are also going in few days and this helped me save loads of money!
Three Star Vagabond? You shorted yourself two stars. Excellent video. Useful and entertaining. Love your dry sense of humor.
Thank you! Really happy to hear that :D I like to joke that I can't afford to be a five star vagabond, like all of the other travel vloggers ;D
I just visited Pompei and Vesuvio with my mom, your video was very helpful, thank you! :)
Really happy to hear that :D Hope you had a great time while over there!
thank you so much, going there soon, this was very helpful
Really happy to hear that! Hope you'll have a lovely visit
I really appreciated the video. It was both informative and enjoyable to watch. It saved me a significant amount of time on planning. Many thanks!
That's so nice to hear! Thank you - happy that it was of help to you 😊
Once again Vagabond another top video. Love the trip(comedy hold). Was it only the one beer? As well as entertaining us you give great tips and price details. I think I’ll give it a go next spring. For someone travelling alone and on a budget your channel is no doubt the best. Cheers! 🍺👍🏻
I am thrilled to hear that, really! :D I just might have had another beer... But seriously, I wanted to have still water but they were all out! So it's not like I planned it :D It was a great experience actually, and if you do decide to go make sure you check out Capri as well! Man, that place was just so gorgeous
Thank you, very useful.👍
Happy to hear that! Thanks :D
Great video!
Thank you 😀
Thanks a lot for sharing experience 😊❤
Thanks for checking it out :D
vielen danke! Es ist sehr interessant.
Danke! 😀
Great Video you deserve you so much more subs!
Woohoo! Really appreciate it. Well, let's hope they come one of these days :D
Thank you. Will be visiting soon. From sorrento, but I will use your routes and advice for these 2 sites
I hope you'll have a great time visiting :D
good evenin!greally incredible sharing-farewell! ;)
Thank you so much! :D
Thankss!
Cheers! 😀
Excellent video and advice. We recently went rt Sorrento-Pompeii via train, Pompeii-Mt Vesuvius by bus as recommended. It's totally doable for type A travelers. Just a couple updates, the bus is available at both the Porto Marina and Piazza Anfiteatro so you don't have to walk around and enter from the Piazza Anfiteatro. Otherwise, great advice video. Stay hydrated my friends.
Thanks for the update - that was a great note about the bus! Haha, I had to google what a type A traveler is, and...um...yes...I most definitely tend to be type A most of the time :D
I love your videos man. My favorite one was about the crappy pubs....
Haha, thanks man! That one was really weird to record though. Not exactly nice to talk crap about a pub while sitting inside :D
Interesting video sir
Thank you so much!
The oldest amphitheatre of the world is the theatre of Dionysus in Athens ,build in the 5th century B.C. Interesting video !
Oh nice! Thanks for that piece of info :D And cheers!
Wish I had your advice on visiting Vesuvius when we went a few years ago. Never did manage to find the entrance! The bus from Pompeii looks a really good cheap option. Advice from me, in the height of summer, please wear a hat! Your Nordic skin will thank you!!
Oh, that's too bad! What a pity that you missed out on seeing the summit... Haha, thanks for the advice - but my skin was hardened by many days in the sun before this :D
We’ve year they discover new stuff in Pompei, so every year is different. It’s exciting
Very good point! I can imagine that it's always a new experience to go there :D
Very informative video! I feel a little more at ease about not wanting a guide. 😊
I know you mentioned not to miss the last bus from Vesuvius to Pompeii, but I’m not sure if you stated what time that was.
I booked my ticket to Vesuvius at 16:00. I just want to make sure I have enough to climb up, down, and catch the bus 😅
I think you'll be fine but see if you can find the timetable... I didn't want to mention a time in case the timetables change 😀
I was with a tour group in June 2017 and rode from Rome to Vesuvius, walked to the crater, then went on to spent three hours in Pompeii later that day, which ended with a ferry to the hotel and dinner in Capri. An exhausting day, but awesome fun. (BTW the package was Cosmos- Rome and Naples.)
Nice one! Sounds like a great tip to check out those kinds of groups as well 😀
Hi I enjoyed watching your video. I'm planning to go to Pompei and Mt Vesuvius in a day in January, I was just wondering if where did you had your entrance and exit in the Pompei archeological park please? I didn't quite catch the Italian word 🤣 thank you in advance.
Thank you! Haha, the entrance I used (pretty close to the train station) was Porta Marina, and I exited at Piazza Anfiteatro. The bus to Vesuvius departs from the Anfiteatro, so that was most convenient for me! Hope you have an awesome trip :D
Amazing video! You just made me feel more confident about exploring Pompeii on my own. Where did you purchase the tickets? At the site or online?
Yay happy to hear that! It's absolutely fine to do it on your own. I bought the tickets online in advance, but that was because I visited in July in high season. If you're going at other times it might be just fine to buy at the site.
Thank you for your tips, I am travelling to Naples next month so I will definitely visit Pompeii and Vesuvius but wanted to ask you, if there is bus from Vesuvius to Naples? I could not find it on the internet.
Oh, that's a good question. I haven't seen any direct buses from Naples to Vesuvius actually. Only buses from Vesuvius to various nearby train stations and then you can take a train from there to Naples.
Loved your video. Much practical information. What is the cheapest way to get from Vesuvius to Napole Centrale? Also, you mentioned to prebook the ticket to ascent Vesuvius where? And did the bus you took from Pompeii [the EAV] take you up the mountain to where you begin to ascent? THANKS!
Thank you! I think the cheapest way would be bus, but I went for train myself. And yes indeed, the EAV takes you a bit up the mountain. Oh, and I have a pinned comment under this video with links to both the Pompeii and Vesuvius ticket sites!
@Three Star Vagabond thanks for the quick response. How did you get back from Vesuvius to get the train back to Naples? Did you go back to Pompeii or is there a bus to the nearby train station near Vesuvius?
@@qbanman69 I was planning on taking the bus back to Pompeii, but I saw that there were a few other buses departing prior to that. I just walked up and asked if they stop at a nearby train station - and took that bus instead!
Thank you for a great video. We were wondering about the bus tickets. Did you buy them in advance? If so where from?
Hey thanks a lot! And you can just buy them on the bus in cash - that's the simplest way.
Thanks for the helpful video- what website did you book the entry ticket for mount Vesuvius?
Happy to help! I booked via this page: www.vivaticket.com/it/ticket/visita-guidata-al-gran-cono-del-vesuvio/79785
I was just researching day trip tours from Rome to Pompeii but your video makes it look do-able without a tour guide. However could you tell me how was the trip back ? As in walking down the Mount Vesuvius to Pompeii and back to Rome
Thank you! Walking down is easy and then it's easiest to check the buses departing from Vesuvius. All of them seem to stop at a train station, and from there you can get to Rome.
Благодарим ви!
Thank you very much :D
Hi I'm visiting Rome this August with a day trip set aside for Pompei & vesuvius.
Did you take the earliest train from termini station to Naples and are there long queues to buy a ticket if I don't buy online ?
Also did you visit Capri on a separate day or the same as pompeii & vesuvius 🤔
Great video thankyou 👍
I actually stayed in Naples because I didn't want to have to get up so early! But the trains were not packed at all that early, so that shouldn't be a problem. Capri definitely requires its own day - it's not possible at all to do both places in one day.
I just watched video as going may next year can I just confirm from bus to walk volcano how long does it take as husband can walk long thanks lv video
The bus stops exactly by the volcano, but then there's a pretty long walk up the volcano. And there's a lot of walking at Pompeii as well, in case you're planning to go there. I hope you can manage - but be prepared that it might take a lot of time, and make sure you have a walking staff or such things if you plan on doing it!
Thank you so much. I was planning really to do these and Naples in 1 day. How much is the entrance to Pompeii and to Vesuvius now? Not sure if increased now. And is it cheaper to buy online in advance or just the same if buying at the office?
I think it's not much more expensive, but I would definitely recommend buying in advance rather than at the office. For Pompeii it might even be required, since you have to book a time slot and they have limited numbers of people allowed.
Hi, would you no when the last bus from Vesuvius to Pompeii is, or how often they run 😊
It seems to be 16.05 that the last bus leaves, but I personally would like a bit of margin!
How long does it take to hike up to the crater of the volcano from where the bus drops you off? Great video ❤
It's a bit hard to say since I was filming and stopping all the time... But it's really not that far! 30 minutes maybe?
Bra mic! Vad använder du för miclösning?
Tackar! Jag filmar med en DJI Pocket 2, och har DJIs egna trådlösa mic till det. Med en liten död katt ovanpå och "reduce noise"-option påslaget i kameran så funkar det rätt bra i de flesta lägena. Men sen kör jag allt genom compressor och mastering också.
Is it possible to start the day at 9am by visiting Herculaneum (2 hours), follows by a bus to Mt. Vesuvius (2-3 hours), then a bus to Pompei (2 hours)? I would also like to know, approximately, the walking time (or distance in km) from the bus station to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. Will you be able to see the crater? Thanks and great video!
Let's see.. The Vesuvius walking time isn't too bad - maybe 2 hours max in total. And you can see the crater but it's not really much to see in there to be honest! I think doing Herculaneum, Vesuvius and Pompeii in one day is hard to do while relying on public transport, since there will be delays while waiting for the bus etc. I felt like I barely had enough time for two of them (but then again, I was filming as well). So it's doable...but it would require a lot of perfect timing with transports, and just two hours Pompeii and Herculaneum will feel a bit stressed... Maybe a tour might be preferable, since then the transportation will be arranged?
@@ThreeStarVagabond Thank you very much for your input, will consider your option.
Could you provide links to the sites you brought the tickets from? I don't know where to buy them from and which ones, as there are multiple websites.
It's in a pinned comment that I added when posting the video. Maybe I forgot to pin back then? Either way, it's pinned now at least!
Can you add the link where to buy the ticket online? I can only find the tour
I added some links in a pinned comment, but it should be these ones:
Pompeii: www.ticketone.it/en/artist/scavi-pompei/parco-archeologico-di-pompei-988882/
Vesuvius: www.vivaticket.com/it/ticket/visita-guidata-al-gran-cono-del-vesuvio/79785
Ännu en utmärkt video. Jag har har alltid velat besöka Pompeii, nu längtar man ännu mera ju!
Vilka sidor är bra att besöka för att köpa tågbiljetter och inträdes biljetter och liknande?
Tack så mycket! Det var riktigt intressant med båda faktiskt. Och bra fråga! Här är ett par länkar:
Pompeii: www.ticketone.it/en/artist/scavi-pompei/parco-archeologico-di-pompei-988882/
Vesuvius: www.vivaticket.com/it/ticket/visita-guidata-al-gran-cono-del-vesuvio/79785
När det gäller tåg kan man dels köpa via den Italienska Trenitalia-sidan: www.trenitalia.com/en.html
Men jag hade lite problem med att boka där, så jag beställde faktiskt genom OBB, en österrikisk tågsida istället: www.oebb.at/en/
@@ThreeStarVagabond Tack så mycket för tipsen:)
@@robinjohansson1949 Så lite så! Borde ha tänkt på att lägga upp länkarna tidigare också :)
@@ThreeStarVagabond Det är lätt att glömma det!
Pompeii was ancient Las Vegas.
Haha well put!
How long is the hike from the bustop to the top of the mountain?
That's a bit hard to say since I was filming and talking at the same time. But not too long. Less than an hour I think
Hiya I’m going this next month
Just wanted to ask about how long it took you to get to Vesuvius from Pompeii and how to get back to Pompeii after ?
I don't remember exactly but less than an hour between Pompeii and Vesuvius I think. And then there's a bus that goes back to Pompeii station (or other stops along the way)
Great video. What’s a legit site to buy the tickets to Pompeii?
Thanks! I made a sticky comment with some links, and this one should work: www.ticketone.it/en/artist/scavi-pompei/parco-archeologico-di-pompei-988882/
Vet inte om du hinner svara på dethär, men websiten du länkade, där man kan köpa biljetter till Vesuvius, gäller väl en "tour", men vad om man vill gå ensam utan nån guide? Vi är i Napol just nu.
Nejdå, det är den länken för att köpa en "vanlig" biljett utan en tour. Vad som händer är att de släpper in 50 pers som de kallar en "grupp" i varje time slot, men sen kör man på som man vill, och så länge man vill.
@@ThreeStarVagabond Tusen tack! Man blir riktigt yr i huvudet efter att ha letat efter biljetter från tiotals websidor. Så många företag, och en del vill väl bara ha dina pengar och bryr sig blanka fan om dig 😄 Som tur hittade vi dig på RUclips!
Har haft en trevlig resa härtills. Hyrde en bil och har kört småvägar Milano-Genova-Pisa-Firenze-Napol. Blev överraskade av hur mycket skräp det finns på vägarna i Napol!
How long is the walk up and down vesuvius please?
Not that long to be honest. Much less than an hour, and the road was very smooth (but gravely).
Do you recommend visiting Herocleum before of after doing this trip (Pompeii to Vesuvio)?
That's a good question! I think for me I wouldn't have had time to do it on the same day. But I'd probably do Pompeii first (to avoid crowds) and then Herculaneum.
@@ThreeStarVagabondThanks for your response! My friend is going to visit me in a week here in Naples so I'm trying to maximize the experience hah. Have you been to Royal Palace of Caserta? If so do you recommend prebooking a ticket or will there be no major lines of people? I'm also thinking about going to Procida and Ischia islands but finding the boat to get there is a real pain, everything seems to be so disorginized here in Naples...
@@jesuschrist2268 Sorry, never visited the palace or those islands. I was on a really quick trip through Naples, and just saw Capri aside from Pompeii / Vesuvius. It sounds like you'll see a lot more than I did actually :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Well I have an unsure pleasure of living in Naples for a time so we can allow ourselves to see much more. Last question. Is Vesuvio open for the entire day (night included)? Because on Google Maps in says that it is but when I do a search it says it's only open during daylight hours
@@jesuschrist2268 I see! Well better make the most of it then at least :D Hmm... Well... I guess technically you could probably stay on the volcano. But the thing is, it's far away from everything - so there'd be hours and hours to walk to the nearest town.
just curious, do you travel full time?
Haha no no, this is just stuff I did on my summer vacation!
Is it worth paying for the train ticket from Naples twice so you can do Pompei one day and Vesuvius a different day?
That's really difficult to say! Depends a lot if you feel like it's worth it to you. For me, I actually had an Interrail pass so I would have done it if I had more time.
Do you think it's possible to visit Pompeii in half a day without the skip-the-line ticket on July ?
Hmm... I think I'd skip the skip-the-line tickets either way. I was there in June, and there were no problems at all with queues. So yeah, it should be feasible. But I'd make it a very early start!
@@ThreeStarVagabond thank you !!
Жатва.. Пени!??
Корм
You never told us how long the walk is up to the top of Mount Vesuvius, distance and time please?
Time is a bit hard to measure since I was stopping and filming at the same time, but I'd say like 30 minutes to an hour to walk up. It's really not far at all.
@@ThreeStarVagabond Awesome, Thank you.
Мопед.. Египед
Pay attention this dude is a vampire
I never drink...wine. Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
All I can say is don’t get a guided tour they drag you round there as quick as possible!! Ruined it for me
Happy to hear that I didn't miss out on much by skipping one! But I think some people really appreciate taking it slow like that - to each their own
They did the same to me in roman forum. All of the boring history that you are not listening to with no time for sightseeing or pictures..
