The only active volcano in mainland Europe
The most-visited archaeological site in the world
The 1281 meters tall Mount Vesuvius is well known because of the eruption in A.D. 79 that destroyed the city of Pompeii. You can hike up the volcano and enjoy the view of the crater and the surrounding area. Round trip, it is a 4km trail and does not require prior hiking experience. Because of the volcanic ash, Pompeii is a well-preserved snapshot of life in a Roman city. The whole city was destroyed in about 25 hours, causing massive casualties for those who did not have enough time to escape the eruption. Both attractions are definitely worth a visit.
