Pompeii & Herculaneum from Naples - Low Cost

This tour offers a deep dive into the fascinating history of two of the most important archaeological sites in Italy—Pompeii and Herculaneum. Both cities were tragically buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, yet they reveal remarkably different aspects of life in the Roman Empire. Pompeii, a bustling commercial hub, served as a vibrant gateway for traders and travelers, full of public buildings, markets, and social spaces. In contrast, Herculaneum was a quieter, more refined residential town, home to aristocrats and intellectuals, with well-preserved villas and elegant artwork. Visiting both sites provides a unique opportunity to understand the social, economic, and architectural contrasts between a thriving Roman city and an upscale seaside village at the height of their existence.
