Pompeii is home to a heritage that is unique and unparalleled anywhere in the world. It tells the story of a single day in life two thousand years ago.
Once you arrive in Pompeii, the first thing that will strike you is the sheer size of the site. It will feel like visiting a typical European city, but this time it’s different because it’s a city from the past, and the emotions you’ll feel will be completely unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
As you stroll, following in the footsteps of the Roman aristocracy, you’ll discover daily customs, the architecture of the buildings, the market, and the villas. Here’s what you’ll see once you arrive. A classic city map with descriptions of the main streets and the most important buildings to visit, such as “The Villa of the Mysteries,” “The House of the Faun,” “The Great Theater,” “The Forum,” as well as countless homes and shops. This is the majesty of Pompeii today, one of the most visited archaeological sites in the world.
