Vesuvius by malkin
A company called "Vesuviana Mobilita" based in Naples seems to organise all the bus connections to the top of Vesuvius. You can pick up a leaflet with their timetable from the tourist office in via Luigi de Maio, 35. The best is to get the train to Pompeii Scavi, walk down to the square and catch the bus which stops immediately outside the Pompeii tourist office situated on the "island" in the middle of the square. Despite what is written on the Vesuviana Mobilita leaflet an E3 bus ticket for 1.80Euros (see tourist office leaflet on ticketing) is good for one way. For the return you can buy them anywhere before you go up but I suggest you get them from Andrea de Gregorio's souvenir shop (see my things to do "active volcano" tip)
