## Direct answers
- Do I need to book Vesuvius tickets in advance? Yes. Entry to the crater path is by timed ticket sold online, with a daily limit.
- How hard is the walk to the crater? It is a steady 25 to 30 minute climb on loose gravel, gaining about 150 metres. Most reasonably fit visitors manage it; it is dusty and exposed.
- Can the trail be closed? Yes, for high wind, thunderstorms or volcanic activity. Closures can happen on the day, so check before travelling up.
- Is Pompeii included? No. Pompeii and Herculaneum are separate archaeological parks with their own tickets and entrances.
