This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Pompeii Archaeological Site. We spent the whole day walking around the streets, getting lost in the alleys and shops, exploring every nook and cranny in search of ancient treasures. The children played for hours jumping and walking in the puddles in the streets

Highlights: The site is just unique and exceptional. We were amazed by the remarkable conservation. The children enjoyed playing in the puddles. We also discovered the molds of the bodies of people caught in the pyroclastic flow and the many murals and frescoes that survived the eruption ✨
