Pompeii

The ancient Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.. Unlike Herculaneum, Pompeii was buried under a thick layer of ash and lapilli, which remarkably preserved its architecture, streets and dwellings. Here you can visit:

  • The Roman Forum and the heart of the ancient city.

  • The Grand Theater, still used for performances.

  • Stabian baths and ancient workshops.

  • The Casts of the victims, evidence of the 79 A.D. eruption.

  • The spectacular Villa of the Mysteries with its unique frescoes.

A visit to Pompeii will give you a fascinating insight into daily life in one of the most prosperous cities of the Roman Empire.

Lunch Break

After your visit, stop at a traditional trattoria near Pompeii to enjoy a traditional lunch. (Our driver will be happy to recommend an excellent traditional restaurant where you can enjoy your lunch break.)

Pompeii → Vesuvius National Park

Enjoy a panoramic drive up to Quota 1000, the highest point accessible by car. Along the way, admire stunning view of the Bay of Naples.
