Journey to Pompeii, an ancient archaeological site in southern Italy. Once a sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii met its tragic end during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which buried the city in ash. Today, the preserved site features excavated ruins of streets, houses, temples, and other structures that you can explore. Afterwards, head to Naples to take in panoramic views of the Gulf, wander through colourful alleys known as "vicoli," and sightsee at your own pace.
