It is bordered on the north by the cities of Naples and Pozzuoli, on the east by Mount Vesuvius, and on the south by the Sorrentine Peninsula and the main town of the peninsula, Sorrento. The Peninsula separates the Gulf of Naples from the Gulf of Salerno, which includes the Amalfi coast.

Vesuvius has erupted many times since and is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last hundred years. Today, it is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the population of 3,000,000 people living nearby, making it the most densely populated volcanic region in the world, as well as its tendency towards violent, explosive eruptions of the Plinian type.
Admission Ticket Free
Spend 2 hours with a local guide at the now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pompeii's archeological site is fascinating to explore with well-preserved fossils and ruins that lay beneath volcanic ash for centuries. Walking for approximately 2,5 hours with your private English speaking guide, visitors get a true sense of the sophistication, luxury and lifestyle of Pompeii before the volcano erupted as they enter the Forum and see the Large Theatre, visit houses, shops and brothels.
