Make sure you save a day of your holiday for Pompeii. Here is a city frozen in time, stopped in action when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. Remains of temples, villas and streets have been uncovered and they more or less look just as they did 2000 year ago. You’ll even get to see the people who were turned to stone trying to flee the city in its final hours.
The ancient town of Herculaneum, together with Pompeii is today one of the most important archaeological site of Campania Region and it’s really worth the visit. Even if the two towns suffered the same fate being buried by the 79 A.D Mount Vesuvius eruption, the different typology of town, makes them very different from one other. With our excursion the guide will help you out exploring this wonderfully preserved archaeological site, seeing live what used to differentiate these two Roman Towns.
Mount Vesuvius is one of the most famous volcanoes on the earth. It is also the only an active volcano on the mainland of Europe and provides the focal point of the entire Bay of Naples.
