Beautiful... Worth a trip.. Unfortunately, many things are closed... Not everything is accessible.... Dog was allowed in despite the prohibition signs.... 😊

This visit to the city destroyed by a volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD – and then forgotten – was worthwhile.
For centuries, Pompeii lay beneath a thick layer of volcanic ash and pumice. The city was only rediscovered in the 18th century. It's amazing what there is to see today in this vast area!
You could spend …

Pompeii, or "Colonia Cornelia Veneria Pompeianorum," as it was called in the Roman Empire

Is Pompeii worth a visit? For people who want a glimpse into the past and have a bit of imagination – definitely!

You can prepare well for the visit by reading up on it, but it's still just ruins and remnants that are difficult to identify …

Today we went across the excavation site of Pompeii. If you have a ticket, you still have to queue. It's a bit confusing with the rows, but it's quick.
Then queue up for the entrance. We took the first opportunity and looked around a bit off the beaten path. We were almost alone on the road. But since the area …

Hard to believe that an entire city was buried within a few moments.

What an amazing place, they were so advanced for the time, so well preserved and such an achievement to uncover, 20m of volcanic ash buried Pompei in 79AD. Some parts we visited were under construction when the Vesuvius erupted all that time ago, and they are still uncovering more today 😍 lf you have the chance to visit, then visit!! …

Took a trip to Pompei today.
The train goes directly from Naples. So you don't need these bus tours.
Admission is also cheaper at the ticket office than online.
16 instead of 22 euros.


Otherwise very impressive but at 40 degrees also very exhausting.
