Mount Vesuvius: Transport Only from Ercolano by Vesuvio Express

Mount Vesuvius: Transport Only from Ercolano by Vesuvio Express

4.2 (636) 🕑 3 hours Free cancellation

With the best views of the Gulf of Naples and lush greenery at its base, Vesuvius is the picture of tranquility – but nearly 2,000 years ago it reigned devastation on the Italian coast. The fossilized remains of humans struck down by ash are the most powerful reminder of mother nature's unbridled power. Journey directly to the top of Vesuvius aboard the comfortable Vesuvio Express shuttle bus, with pick-up and drop-off at Herculaneum. It's by far the easiest and fastest route to the crater. **Vesuvio Express Timetable** The Vesuvio Express schedule is really easy to remember. The bus departs **every 40 minutes** from Herculaneum Railway Station, starting at 09:30. The final departure is indicated by the Vesuvio Express closing time on this page. You can find a more detailed Vesuvio Express timetable at Herculaneum Railway Station.
