Itinerary
The combined visit of Pompeii and Herculaneum allows us to understand the life that took place in the two small Roman cities until the time of the eruption in 79 AD. Through the visit it will be possible to notice how the different burial modalities of the two cities have allowed two different types of conservation. During the visit of Pompeii we will focus mainly on the aspects of public life in the city. The buildings that can be visited are: theaters, spas, the lupanare, the forum (with the temples, the markets and the basilica) and the moving bodies obtained with the liquid plaster technique.
After a short 45-minute break we will reach Herculaneum (about 25 minutes by car or Circumvesuviana train) During the visit we will reach the ancient beach and begin the tour of the city by visiting a series of typical Roman houses (with mosaics and frescoes), shops, the beautiful female spas with their frescoes and the charred finds that we will encounter during the tour.

About Pompeii
Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.
Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
