Discover Pompeii and the still active Volcano that brought the Roman city to its terrible end in this exclusive day trip from Rome to Pompeii.
You will be transferred from Rome on an air-conditioned coach, to the city of Naples where we will begin our day. Infamous for the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79AD, Vesuvius has erupted many times since – and is today regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the worldbecause of the 3,000,000 people living in its immediate vicinity and the volcano’s tendency towards explosive eruptions. Lava flows have scarred the sides of the volcano, and are visible on the winding road up to the top. From the parking area, it is a 20 minute upward hike to the crater through soft volcanic ash and pumice – and the view from the top is well worth the while.
After our adventurous morning we’ll take a lunch break, where you can experience the world-famous pizza Naples is known for. When you are ready to go – it’s on to the highlight of the day: Pompeii. The now ruined city of Pompeii was a metropolisof shops and residences,restaurants, gyms and brothels. Walk Pompeii’s main streets just as the ancient Romans did – the stones are still worn with tracks from the drawn carriages that tread them nearly 2000 years ago. We’ll visit the forum, the center of Pompeii’s political and social life, as well as view the startling plaster death casts of the victims of the catastrophic eruptionthat destroyed the city – freezing forever in time their last secondof life.
Join us on this comprehensive and fascinating tour of Pompeii & the powerful Volcano that destroyed it and discover why this UNESCO World Heritage Site continues to shock and fascinate the 2.6 million people who venture here each year.
