Pompeii & Mt Veusvius – Skip the line

An interesting tour to Pompeii and mount Vesuvius to visit at the same time an ancient Roman town and the volcano that destroyed it about 2000 years ago.

You cannot miss the chance to join a full day excursion to discover the archaeological sites of Pompeii & Herculaneum. Pompeii reses on a plateau of Vesuvian lava, overlooking the Sarno river valley. The city was destroyed by the eruption of the Volcano Vesuvius in 79 AD, but the rests of the Roman civilization were rediscovered in the 16th century and the exploration begun in 1748 under the kingdom of Charles III of Burbon. Thanks to the ash and lava, that petrified the city preserving all the “valley”, it’s still possible to admire the buildings that founded the city.

Vesuvius is one of the only two active volcanoes in Continental Europe and it is the symbol of the city of Naples. It is about 1281 meters high and shows a typical “enclosure” shape dominated by the large cone structure.
