Pompeii Archaeological Park
Submerged by a pile of lava and ash during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city has become one of the major tourist attractions in Italy. Visiting the excavations of Pompeii one gets the impression that time has stopped at the moment of the eruption, thanks also to the casts of the victims' bodies that make these places even more suggestive.
120 minutes
Admission Not Included
Parco Acheologico di Ercolano
Destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, together with Pompeii, it is the only example in the world of an ancient city where entire wooden structures of the houses have remained intact. Smaller than Pompeii, it has been preserved over time thanks to the volcanic mud that protected the ruins.
60 minutes
Admission Not Included
Vesuvius National Park
With its approximately 1300 meters of height, Vesuvius is known throughout the world for having destroyed, with its eruption, numerous cities including Pompeii and Herculaneum. What not everyone knows, however, is that this volcano is very important for the Neapolitan people, as typical local products are obtained from its very fertile soil, including wine, "lacrima Christi" and piennolo tomatoes.
