Discover the Majestic Vesuvio National Park

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from the Amalfi Coast, start by heading towards the SS163 road. Follow the signs for Salerno and merge onto the A3 motorway (Autostrada del Sole) in the direction of Naples. After about 30 km, take the exit for Ercolano (Exit 7). Follow the signs for Vesuvio National Park. You'll need to park in one of the designated parking areas near the park entrance, which may incur a fee of around €5-€10 for the day, depending on the parking lot you choose. From the parking area, you can start your hike up the Gran Cono trail.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Vesuvio National Park using public transportation, first take a bus or ferry from your location on the Amalfi Coast to Sorrento. From Sorrento, you can catch the Circumvesuviana train towards Naples and get off at Ercolano. Once in Ercolano, you can take the EAV bus (line 5) directly to the entrance of Vesuvio National Park. The bus ride costs around €2, and the train ticket from Sorrento to Ercolano is approximately €2.50. Make sure to check the bus schedule in advance, as the frequency may vary.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer a more direct route without the hassle of public transport, consider taking a taxi or using a ride-sharing service like Uber from your location on the Amalfi Coast to Vesuvio National Park. This option is more expensive, with fares typically ranging from €50 to €80 depending on your precise starting point. The ride will take approximately 50 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic.
