Do you like danger? Because today I’m gonna take you to Mount Vesuvius
the most dangerous volcano in the world.
Mount Vesuvius, or Monte Vesuvio is located along the southern coast, outside of Naples, Italy
and is about a 2 hour drive from Rome
There are many different Pompeii tours available, and some combine a trip to Mount Vesuvius
because it is the very volcano that erupted to create the ruins of Pompeii.
But today we are going to show you how to take a driving and hiking tour of Mount Vesuvius on your own.
So we’ve gotten off the highway, we’re ascending the hills to Mount Vesuvius.
The temperature is supposed to decrease, so we’re starting at 82 degrees, and we’ll see how low it goes.
Is this like, the correct way to go? Yeah.
That’s the funny thing about Italy, main routes sometimes feel like some crazy backroads
And the drive up to Mount Vesuvius is quite an adventure.
It’s lovely countryside. Oh and here they are, the tour busses.
Like I said, you have many online options to book Pompeii tours and Mount Vesuvius tours
Everything from tour busses to tour cars. Private tours, taxi tours
Hello and welcome to Mount Vesuvius
Once arriving the temperature should be roughly 66-68 degrees fahrenheit
in accordance with the standard laps rate on a standard day of 4 degrees per thousand feet.
So, jewelry was the last thing I planned to do coming up here today but.. Lava
Lava Vesuvio. Really? From the volcanic ash? Yes
Now I’m not sure how authentic this Vesuvius ash jewelry was
but the bracelets were fun and in the $3-$10 euro range so you can pick up a bunch for your friends.
Shopping on Mount Vesuvius!
And now we begin our Mount Vesuvius hike up the volcano.
You can stop and buy your 10 euro ticket from this puppy dog
and be sure to use the bathroom while you’re down here.
This is definitely a little bit of a hard hike, it’s short, but it’s steep.
Definitely wear dirty hiking shoes, cus they’re gonna get dirty.
It’s cooler but it’s nice because we got our heart rates up.
Sprint to the top. Okay!
We actually ended up getting this hike done in just 20 minutes
but you could definitely make it easier by taking your time and enjoying the scenery along the way.
It seems you can even take a little car on a full Mount Vesuvius tour if you need to.
It’s steep, but you can take it slow, there are places to rest. And it appears we have reached the summit.
I’ve never been to a volcano before.
I’m following my fearless leader.
Mount Vesuvius erupts every 20 years.
It’s considered the most dangerous volcano in all of the world
Due to the 3 million residents that live near by.
Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD and it buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
We’re going to go see those cities soon in fact, you can check it out in that video right there.
Here’s a crazy Mount Vesuvius fact, when the volcano erupted and covered Pompeii it shot volcanic ash 21 miles into the sky

Fan: Whoooo!
Hey! Your one fan in Italy
She’s like ‘yes, that’s my favorite youtube channel”
And then at the very tippy top around the semi circle is a little stand that sells little beers and things.
that sells little beers and things.
Limoncello
Peroni, it’s what they drink at the top of Mount Vesuvius.
We’re being kicked out of Mount Vesuvius, not because of misconduct, because it’s closing.
But it’s too bad because it’s such an interesting time of day, it’s evening and the clouds are just pouring in.
So of course yoga in a cloud on the top of Mt. Vesuvius was something that just had to happen
It’s more fun coming down than going up!
The cars want us to leave, they’re kicking us out they’re chasing us away.
