Overview

Explore the ancient city, its ruins and have a trip back in the past! Skipping the line, we’ll start from the main entrance of the ruins: Porta Marina Superiore. Looking at the Volcano Vesuvius, we’ll pass trough the antiquarium, where i’ll show the objects found in the last excavations, like the coin that modify the date of the eruption and a very heavy golden armcuff, We’ll move to the Basilica, the Forum with the market and the main Temples.. We’ll walk along the Greater Decumano, having a nearby look inside the thermal system and the charming Lupanare. We will explore together many of the most beautiful domus, some of them recently opened. The guided tour will continue along via dell’Abbondanza, to reach the so-called “Fugitives’ garden”, where during the eruption some people tried to find an escape, but they died – as you can see thanks to the moulds. We’ll reach the Great Gymnasium, where many daily objects are exposed to end with the wonderful Amphitheatre.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
