Hi all, I'm going to Italy at the end of June and our flight is "scheduled" to arrive in Naples at 12:30pm. Do you think it is possible to head over to Mount Vesuvius around 3pm and hike up before it closes? Is anyone aware of the open-close schedule Vesuvius has for entry to the top in June? Or if there is any public transportation to it around 3pm? What would the best way to get there be (I'm staying in Naples), so that I can do the climb that late in the afternoon. I really want to try and fit it in and I know it's a crunch. If anyone has some scheduling and transportation information they could share, it would be very helpful! Sam

It closes at 5pm. Not sure if it's enough for a hike to the top. You need to take the Vesuviana train from the central station and get off at Ercolano Scavi. www.vesuviana.it
From the station there are buses and taxis that can take you at 1000 mts altitude.
