What makes Pompeii special

Stroll through the Forum

Ancient Forum, the principal square of any Roman Town, is one of the main things to see in Pompeii. When you step in, you will find yourself encircled by colonnades and, on the north, by the Temple of Jupiter standing strong and proud on a three-meter base. As you start exploring, the Forum unfolds various aspects of the town’s daily life. Look for shrines, temples, wool-selling hall or the place where the town council held their meetings. There is also a basilica which was not only used as a court of law but also a market. Every step you take is a step into the daily routines of ancient inhabitants of Pompeii. Let's go

Pay a Visit to the Garden of Fugitives

Garden of Fugitives is the most iconic image of Pompeii. Casts of human bodies, adults and children alike, as they took cover. This incredibly compelling scene captures the tragedy that struck this town. These thirteen victims scattered around the enclosure were seized by death while trying to flee running on top of the pumice stones of hardened lava. A sudden flow of hot gas, causing almost instant suffocation interrupted their desperate flight. Out of all places to visit in Pompeii, the Gardens of the Fugitives is the one that makes you ponder over the disastrous and heartbreaking impact of the eruption. Let's go

Climb Mount Vesuvius

What to do in Pompeii besides exploring its many ruins? Well, hop on a shuttle, and up Mount Vesuvius you go! Yes, you can go on the way to the top. A shuttle will only take you to the end of the road though. The final station has a simple restaurant, a souvenir shop, and the views are already pretty breathtaking. However, if you have the time, venture up the steep path to the top. The hike takes you all the way to the desolate, moon-like crater's edge. Though seemingly calm, the volcano is taking a nap but is still very much active. So, If you fancy some adrenaline and incredible views, you know what to do! Let's go
