Pompei Pompei No Data

Description


Perhaps the most famous victim of a Volcano in history. Pompei is a perfect Roman city frozen exactly as it was on August 24th 79AD. There is lots to see on the site, and a full day will just about give you enough time to see everything. Many of the key sites are located around the Forum, but the Villa dei Misteri and the Amphitheatre are well worth visiting, and these are at opposing ends of the site, a good 25 minutes walk apart, and that's assuming you aren't send on a long detour to avoid either reconstruction works, or the mass hoards of tour groups attempting to do the entire site in two hours.
