Mount Vesuvius
Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that famously destroyed the town of Pompeii in the year 79 CE, is now a tourist attraction surrounded by a national park. Although Vesuvius still occasionally erupts, (though recent eruptions have been much less violent than the famous eruption of 79 CE) you can actually visit the summit and peer down into the crater if you’re up for a little walking.
