Explore ancient Pompeii’s remarkably preserved ruins, from opulent villas to bustling Roman streets and temples.
Once a thriving Roman city, Pompeii now stands as one of the world’s most haunting archaeological wonders. Preserved beneath layers of ash after Mount Vesuvius’ devastating eruption in 79 AD, the city offers an extraordinary glimpse into ancient life. Wander cobbled streets where lavish villas like the House of the Vetti showcase vibrant frescoes, intricate mosaics, and advanced Roman engineering. Explore bustling forums, temples, and public baths—all remarkably intact. Your driver will wait as you tour the site for 5 hours before heading back.

Pompeii is approximately 150 miles (240 kilometers) southeast of Rome. The drive takes about 2.5 hours each way through scenic Italian countryside, making it perfect for a comfortable day trip.
Most visitors spend 3-5 hours exploring the main highlights of Pompeii. The archaeological park is quite large, so comfortable walking shoes are essential for navigating the ancient stone streets and ruins.
Pompeii can be fascinating for children interested in history, though the walking distance is considerable. The plaster casts and ancient streets often capture young imaginations, making it an educational family experience.
Key highlights include the House of the Vetti with its remarkable frescoes, the Forum, the amphitheater, and the preserved plaster casts of eruption victims. The Villa of Mysteries is also worth visiting if time allows.
Early morning or late afternoon visits offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. Spring and fall provide the most comfortable weather for exploring the archaeological site, while summer can be quite hot with little shade.
Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip, a hat, and sunscreen. The ancient streets are uneven and made of stone, and there's limited shade throughout the archaeological site.
