Thanks to the eruption of the Vesuvius that covered of volcanic ash Pompeii, the town is exceptionally well preserved and offer visitors a true understanding of what life was like during the Roman Empire.
Visiting Pompeii you can see the theaters, the temples, the private villas of the rich families as the House of the Faun with their exquisite frescoes and the quarters of the servants, the wine shops, the bakeries and the public baths.
Walk in the center of religious and economic life the “Forum”, visit the ancient inns where the foreigners arrived in Pompeii could eat and buy wine “Termopolium”, see the plaster body casts of the inhabitants of Pompeii victims of volcanic ash and gas.
At your own pace visit of the remains of Roman “Herculaneum” lying within the area of modern Ercolano, north of Pompeii and south of Naples.
The ruins at Herculaneum are well preserved and are much smaller than those at Pompeii, so it is very possible to walk through the entire excavation and see all the highlights.
In the contrast to the mostly single-story buildings of Pompeii, here in Herculaneum the private houses and public buildings were with two or even three floors with a great use of wood in doors, staircases, beams and shutters.
Wearing comfortable walking shoes is suggested.
