We arrived not knowing that this was permanently closed due to some kid that thought it was a good idea to run off on his own, resulting in the parents chasing after him and them dying.. ruining it for everyone else. We were able to drive by and see it which was still nice. If you're in the area and want to drive by otherwise don't go out of your way since it is closed.

Place is closed as of June 2022 There is basically no point in going there until it reopens... Don't waste your time and money there, go explore other parts like the Baia ruins if you like diving, Ischia Island or Naples/Vesuvius area...

Solfatara was still closed even i dont know how you can close a volcano 🤔. But if you keep walking the road up to the hill few hundred meters you can see the crater from there. And you can smell the volcanic activity too.

Attention! It is still closed but you can go and see from one high point

It is closed for public, BUT you can go around it on the road up hill.

Wasn't quite sure what to expect when visiting this place but definitely glad I did so. The desolate caldera opens up on you quite unexpectedly; its vast size, the lack of life and the smell and sight of potted sulphur vents making it seem very other-worldly - almost as though human beings shouldn't really be there. Couldn't resist taking a closer look at some of the vents but paid for it in the form of some sulphur-stained clothing. Wear something old (or cover up well) would be my advice to those who follow after me!

Area is closed in a regular Thursday. No chance to enter.

To get there from Rome you can get a train ticket to Naples central station and then to Pozzuoli Solfatara station. 2e class takes around 4 hours. You can also buy the same not to expensive ticket and change lines at Villa Literno, it saves almost one hour and a lot of money, may not be perfectly legal but every Italian official will understand..... Best is to buy ticket from Roma Termini to Villa Literno and ticket from there to Pozzuoli Soflfatara, just 3 euro more. Walk to the smoking vulcano throug h 'Via Vigna' its beautiful, safe and quiet. Don't forget to visit the Arena and Neptunes Temple.

Still closed for visitors if you want to see something you must go uphill where there is a belvedere. That's a shame !!!
