One day Naples Pompeii and Vesuvius
from Rome
Enjoy a combined day tour to Mt Vesuvius and the ruins of the Roman town.
The ancient city of Pompeii — famously ruined in A.D. 79 when mighty Mount Vesuvius blew
its top — is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions.
The best way to understand Pompeii is to walk the site; in good Roman style, the city was well organized,
contained by its walls with a grid street plan. Back in antiquity, most of Pompeii's streets would have been lined with
stalls and jammed with customers from sunup to sundown. Chariots vied with shoppers for street space.
There were no posh neighborhoods in Pompeii. The well-off and not-so-well-off mixed it up as elegant
houses existed side by side with simpler homes. Richly frescoed entertainment rooms ring the central courtyard,
where a formal garden surrounds a pool with water, meant to bring a feeling of freshness.
What about Mt. Vesuvius…
few visitors make it to the top of the towering volcano, but those who do enjoy a commanding view!
Belly up to the crater's edge. Steaming vents are a reminder that while Vesuvius is quiet today,
it's just taking a geological nap. The last eruption was in 1944, and it's only a matter of when, not if, it will erupt again.
Italian authorities close Vesuvius to visitors when they think the volcano is acting too frisky.
A hike around the crater's lip comes with spectacular vistas of Naples, its sweeping bay, and Pompeii. Be still.
Listen to the wind and the occasional cascade of rocks tumbling into the crater.
