Mount Vesuvius
You'll spend the day outside Naples at Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. Walking through Pompeii means seeing streets and homes and painted walls that got buried during the 79 A.D. eruption and stayed preserved all these centuries. After that, hike up Mount Vesuvius to reach the crater at the top. From up there you see the whole Bay of Naples laid out below you, which really puts the scale of the place into perspective.
Optional Activities
- Explore Pompeii - ancient city with preserved houses, frescoes, and public buildings from 79 A.D.
- Ascend Mount Vesuvius - hike to the crater of this active stratovolcano with panoramic views of the Bay of Naples

Naples to Airport
Check out from your hotel and head to the airport for your afternoon flight. Plan to get there about 3 hours early, and if you haven't already done it online, complete your check-in before you leave. That gives you time to handle any last-minute details without rushing.
