Itinerary
- 1
Pompeii
2 hours
Walk through one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., Pompeii was frozen in time, preserving its ancient streets, temples, bathhouses, theaters, and shops exactly as they were nearly 2,000 years ago. Marvel at the haunting plaster casts of the victims and explore over 44 hectares of ruins that bring Roman daily life vividly back to life.

Ercolano
2 hours
Discover Herculaneum, Pompeii's lesser-known but equally fascinating neighbor. Unlike Pompeii, which was buried under ash, Herculaneum was engulfed by a flow of volcanic mud that preserved wooden structures, frescoes, furniture, jewelry, and everyday objects in extraordinary detail. Smaller and less crowded than Pompeii, it offers a more intimate and detailed glimpse into ancient Roman life.

Vesuvius National Park
2 hours
Stand on the edge of the volcano that destroyed everything you've seen today. A 30-minute hike along a gravel trail leads to the crater's rim, where breathtaking panoramic views stretch across the Gulf of Naples, Capri, Sorrento, and the islands of Procida and Ischia. An unforgettable finale to an extraordinary day.
