Overview

Among the most visited sites in Italy, Pompeii was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The site is an example of how everyday life was lived in ancient Rome in the 1st century AD, before the city was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius.

This guided tour will allow you to discover public buildings, private houses, the two theaters, the brothel, the spa and the termopolium. Take Via dell'Abbondanza, the busiest street in the city, with important houses and shops. Visit the huge amphitheater, built to accommodate up to 20,000 people, admire the beautiful well-preserved frescoes and marble decorations that tell the life of the Romans in the 1st century AD Follow your guide to observe the petrified inhabitants who were surprised by the eruption and found themselves clinging to each other for protection. Along the way, your guide will show you the typical electoral posters inscribed on the walls throughout the city.
