Go there for the history, stay for the fantastic view! If you go in summer be prepared for a good uphill walk on sandy/rocky terrain on 35-40 Celsius! The explanation you get at the top is good
€20 will get you a bus ride up from Erculano train station and an entry fee. Beware, it's couple of degrees colder and windy up on the top, so bring a jacket in spring and autumn.
An excursion on the volcano Vesuvio is a unique experience. You can go up and reach the mountaintop, where you will be amazed by the breath-taking view on the whole gulf of Naples.
Mobile Internet works at the fence overlooking the valley. Otherwise the cafe/kiosk has a slow WiFi, and the people from the souvenir stalls sell theirs. 2020: Buy tickets in advance (Vivaticket)!!!
Great value for the bus trip from Pompei. Just €20 with a 1,5 hour walk up the mountain. Bar and food by the parking lot. A small store at the top as well.
