Pompeii Day Trips from Naples

One can not leave Naples without taking a trip to Pompeii, an ancient Roman city preserved in its almost original state thanks to the layer of ash that has buried the city alive after the famous eruption of Vesuvius. Travelling to Pompeii is like taking a trip back in time in order to see and feel how the ancient Romans lived thousands of years ago. Thanks to the natural sarcophagus of ash, beautifully coloured frescoes, private homes, temples, workshops, baths and a brothel were perfectly preserved. One of the key attractions is the Forum, occupying the central part of the city. Here, you will see the partially destroyed basilica, Eumachia building, market, and ruins of temples of ancient gods. There are private houses, a granary, and the Garden of the Fugitives, which has casts of 13 people who died during the eruption of Vesuvius. The Lupanar, an ancient Roman brothel, now showcases the erotic frescoes, comments left by the visitors and the conditions in which the ancient priestesses of love used to work.
