The Casa takes its name from the famous fresco located centrally on the south wall, depicting Venus in a shell who, accompanied by two cupids, seems to be pushed towards Pompeii, of which she was the protectress.

July 13, 2023,Wanderung quer durch die Ausgrabungen von Pompeji

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 …

Today we visited the excavation site of Pompeii. Really impressive how big the excavation site is and that not everything has been uncovered yet.
Unfortunately, not all villas/houses can be visited. Villas/houses are opened and closed to the public from time to time.
You should definitely bring time. Especially towards the end of the visiting hours, most tours are gone …

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.

Especially for @Jan 🇳🇱 😉
The calves were a bit tight today. Still glad we visited Pompeii. Didn't know it's so big, very interesting.
We skipped the brothel, there was such a queue in front of the door, it was so busy, it looked like the Amsterdam red light district.

I'm hiking in Campania, but today it was more of an ancient city tour: Pompei. And it wasn't as crowded as I feared, but I wouldn't want to come in the summer.

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 …
