  • Review this attraction
  • Continental Europe’s only active volcano has not blown up since its last rumble in 1944, but experts say it could happen at any time. Yet a relatively easy walk to the crater is certainly a memorable experience. Either drive or take a bus or train to Ercolano-Scavi station, from where the 1.5-hour return trail is accompanied by volcanologist guides, except in bad weather (see Pompeii).
