Step back in time at the ancient city of Pompeii

Begin your day at the world-famous archaeological site of Pompeii, where you’ll witness the remnants of a city buried by the catastrophic eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. As you walk through the remarkably preserved forum, temples, villas and Roman baths, you’ll get a vibrant sense of everyday life frozen in time. From homes adorned with ancient art to shops still echoing the past, Pompeii offers a living snapshot of Roman civilization. With your skip-the-line ticket, enter straight into the site and start exploring without delay. Select an expert guide or audio guide option if you want to deepen your insights into the site’s history.

Discover the wonders of ancient engineering

Marvel at highlights such as the Temple of Jupiter, the grand amphitheater and the haunting plaster casts of residents and animals as they were found preserved under layers of volcanic ash. Visit the House of the Vettii with its elaborate frescoes and discover the social heart of Pompeii in the ancient baths and marketplaces. Don’t miss learning about life before the tragedy, as archaeologists found everyday objects like loaves of bread, pottery and household goods still intact.

After immersing yourself in Pompeii, head to lively Naples. Walk through the famed historic center, Spaccanapoli, known for its narrow streets, striking street art and historic baroque churches.
