Description
Excursions to Pompeii and Herculaneum are an extraordinary experience to immerse yourself in the history of ancient Rome. Pompeii is famous for being buried under volcanic ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, while Herculaneum suffered a similar fate but with a different preservation. Both offer a fascinating window into the Roman past and they are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
During the visit to Pompeii, you can explore the ancient streets, well-preserved houses, temples, and theaters, gaining a vivid insight into the daily life of the ancient Romans. You can also admire the frescoes and decorations that have remained intact for centuries.
Herculaneum, although smaller than Pompeii, provides a more intimate view of Roman life. The houses and their interiors are exceptionally well-preserved, thanks to the rapid covering of mud during the eruption. You can see household items, furniture, and mural decorations that offer a clear picture of the luxurious life of Herculaneum's residents.
While visiting these two ancient cities, we suggest you to take a guide who can enrich the experience with historical details. Also, make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water, a hat, and sunscreen, as the climate can be hot during the summer months. Enjoy your journey into Roman history!
