Flora growing on the side of Vesuvius, with Naples visible in the distance. Not too far from the bus drop off point

The inside of the crater - there's a lot of what looks to be dirt, sand, and/or gravel, and other rocks.

A wide shot of the city of Naples and the north part of the bay. If you look carefully in the middle right third, you can see Naples Airport.

Looking inside the crater - a little bit of steam is coming out.

Looking south from Vesuvius towards Sorrento and Pompeii, with Capri in the distance

Mt. Vesuvius & Pompeii (2026-05-03)

Day two of our impromptu trip we went up Vesuvius, and then came down to the ruins in Pompeii. (GCSE history buffs unite!) I can, in fact, confirm it's possible to get 4G phone signal at the top of a 3000ft volcano, and that you can get a coffee, ice cream, and bottle of Peroni at the shop at the bus drop off point when you get back down (worth it)
