Discover ancient Pompeii's streets, homes and public spaces where everyday Roman life is remarkably preserved beneath layers of history. The city feels like an open-air time capsule: stone-paved roads, faded frescoes and domestic details offer a vivid sense of the past.
Beginning at Porta Marina Inferiore, visitors can walk through the Forum, the civic heart of the city, and stand in the Basilica where public business once took place. Nearby stands the Temple of Apollo and the remains of a bustling marketplace; these communal spaces reveal how commerce and worship shaped daily routines.
Wander past an impressively intact thermopolium, an ancient street-food stall, and step into the public baths to imagine Roman bathing culture. The House of the Faun rewards visitors with detailed mosaics and spacious rooms that convey the scale and artistry of private dwellings.
Venture to the Lupanar to glimpse aspects of social life, then pause at the plaster casts of victims preserved in ash—moving reminders of the eruption that froze this city in time. The combination of architectural remains and intimate domestic artefacts offers a rich, sensory experience that brings Pompeii's ancient rhythms to life for every visitor.
