Rute

1. Around 8; 00 we will pick you up at your hotel in Naples and we will go to the archaeological excavations of Pompeii in MiniVan. After a journey of about 40 minutes, we will arrive at the ruins of the ancient Roman city. On August 24, 79, Emperor Titus received one of the worst news of his reign: Vesuvius unleashed its fury on Stabia, Herculaneum and Pompeii. We will see closely the devastating effects of the volcano on the latter city along its roads, where we will observe how ash covered most of the urban layout. The city was completely buried and forgotten until the eighteenth century. We will tell you the story of how, in this era, the remains were discovered thanks to the excavations encouraged by the future King of Spain Charles III. On our tour we will cross the forum where the Romans gathered and traded. We will learn about their lifestyle by visiting the remains of public buildings such as the lupanare, decorated with frescoes represented erotic scenes. In the majestic Casa dei Vettii we will admire the luxury that reigned in the homes of the wealthiest families.

2. Around 12.30 we will head towards Herculaneum, an ancient Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79. Upon our arrival, its ruins will make us travel through time. The first stop on the tour will be the Corinthian Atrium House, one of the oldest in Herculaneum, of which the splendid mosaic of the walls and the tower stands out. Next, we will see the Casa dei Cervi, where we will observe the frescoes and the marble floor. In addition, we will be able to discover how the inhabitants of Herculaneum lived, going into the thermal baths of the Forum and the House of mosaics of Neptune and Amphitrite. Did you know that this house also had a grocery store? We will continue our excursion discovering the buildings of this ancient city and listening to the stories of those who lived there

About Napoli

Lidenskabeligt og kaotisk under Vesuv er Napoli pizzaens fødested og porten til Pompeji, Capri og Amalfikysten.

Den historiske bykerne, et tæt net af gader anlagt af de gamle grækere, er en verden af kirker, helligdomme på gadehjørner og vasketøj spændt ud mellem altaner. Spaccanapoli skærer lige igennem den, Via San Gregorio Armeno er kantet af værksteder for julekrybber, og Sansevero-kapellet rummer den forbløffende Tilslørede Kristus. Under jorden afslører tunneler og cisterner den græske og romerske by nedenunder.
