It once destroyed the ancient city of Pompeii when it erupted in 79 AD and is currently dormant. This volcano has erupted many times, so it is also one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. You can climb Vesuvius on foot, follow the slope of the volcanic rock to the crater, and in about 20-30 minutes you can go up to the top to see the crater. Because of the high altitude and the high wind speed of the mountain pass, you need to hold the railing when you reach the top. There is a special bus from Pompeii to Mount Vesuvius. The journey takes about an hour. There is a ticket office to Mount Vesuvius at the entrance of Pompeii Railway Station, and the departure point is also at the entrance of the railway station.

I highly recommend Ms. Rose! Our Pompeii guided tour was exceptional. She speaks fluent and authentic Chinese, making communication seamless. Her explanations were clear, well-organized, and comprehensive, going beyond simply introducing the sights to vividly portray Pompeii's historical background and the details of city life. She was considerate and friendly throughout, maintaining a comfortable pace and paying attention to our rhythm. She patiently answered all our questions. Following her, the weighty history became vibrant and easy to understand, making our Pompeii trip incredibly rewarding. Definitely worth choosing!

Capri Island has the Blue Grotto, which is known as one of the seven wonders of the world. The Blue Grotto is a limestone terrain and a sea cave. The entrance is under the cliff and is very small. The height above the sea surface is only 85 cm, so you can only enter by swimming or taking a boat on a calm sunny day. The Blue Grotto is called the "Blue Grotto" because the sunlight shines into the spacious cave from the narrow entrance, and is reflected by the blue water in the cave, making the entire sea cave appear a beautiful crystal blue.

We visited Mount Vesuvius as part of a full day that included Pompeii and it was absolutely wonderful.As we ascended the mountain we stopped mid way for the best pizza I have ever tasted. The little restaurant (which I am ashamed to say I don't remember the name of) unfortunately had a power outage shortly before we arrived. That did not stop them from welcoming us warmly and providing wonderful wood fired pizza for our lunch.From there it was on the Mount Vesuvius herself. There was poor visibility but luckily the rain had passed and we were able to hike to the rim of the crater. Unable to see in to the rim itself because of the low lying fog did not dampen the wonder of being at the top. If anything it added to the magic. Truly an experience of a lifetime.

Standing in front of a window of the palace, you can see the majestic Mount Vesuvius in the distance and the beautiful Bay of Naples nearby. It is like the princes and nobles of the past could enjoy the beautiful scenery without leaving their homes.

After checking in at the Renaissance Naples Hotel, we walked to the new castle for a visit because the room was not available until 3pm. It took about 5 minutes to walk. There was a fee for admission and there was also a guide machine. There was a small church that was now hosting an art exhibition and there were many art works.

The Catacombs of San Generoso is also a great place to visit. The structure of the catacombs is very grand, and there are very rich natural landscapes to appreciate. The catacombs are also next to an archaeological museum with many unique and interesting things.

The square is in front of the Royal Palace of Naples. You can see how big the square is from the window of the Royal Palace of Naples. There is a statue in the center of the square. Many tourists in the square think that the Royal Palace of Naples is a must-visit place, so many tourists gather here in the square!
