About this school trip

Naples is a unique destination for a study trip on volcanology, archaeology and urban dynamics. Vesuvius dominates the view over the bay and the bustling city. In Vesuvius National Park a path leads up to the rim of the crater; groups are accompanied by an officially licensed guide, and the climb is not permitted in heavy rain.

At the foot of the volcano lies Pompeii, the Roman city buried by the eruption of AD 79. In the archaeological park your students walk through the streets, houses and public buildings of the time. Many finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, such as frescoes and bronze and marble statues, can be seen at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, which also holds the famous Farnese collection. The lively, densely populated city itself offers plenty to discuss about living and working close to an active volcano.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Naples for you and your students. You travel in a comfortable coach with an experienced driver. Because of the long distance, we plan an overnight stopover on the way, so that everyone arrives well rested.
