The explosion of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 C.E. presents an intriguing contradiction: it was incredibly devastating, yet it provided history with some of the most comprehensive and well-preserved remnants of an old city, known as Pompeii. These magnificent ruins are among Italy’s most toured attractions, which often results in long lines unless you have a queue-bypass ticket! The eruption of Vesuvius obliterated life in Pompeii instantly. What remains today offers a remarkable glimpse into life during the Roman era. With over 50 hectares available for exploration, you can stroll around the Forum with Vesuvius as a backdrop, or lounge under a tree while admiring the impressive amphitheater. You can observe remnants of the critical aqueduct, road fountains, public baths, private residences, enterprises, statues, frescoes, and hundreds of eerie plaster casts of those who perished in the volcanic eruption!
