Pompeii was a vibrant blue-collar town until the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 covered it under a thick carpet of volcanic ash and reduced it to ruins and debris. Today, what is left of the ancient city of Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage site and pulls millions of visitors yearly. This archeological site, set on the coast of the Bay of Naples, is about 240 km from Rome and just about 25 km from Naples, making it an excellent day trip option.

While there's plenty to explore and discover in Pompeii, here is a list of things to do in Pompeii.
The tragic story of Pompeii has been told and re-told over centuries of a bustling little town that was flattened under a blanket of volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted back in 79 AD. Today, not only can visitors explore the ruins of Pompeii, but they have the rare opportunity of visiting the infamous volcano as well!
When you book a tour of Mount Vesuvius, you can actually trek right up to the crater and take a peek inside.
Note: All Pompeii tickets do not include a tour of the volcano; you would have to specifically book tickets that include a tour of Mount Vesuvius.
Mount Vesuvius TicketsWhen Mount Vesuvius erupted back in 79 AD, Pompeii wasn't the only town that was buried under volcanic ash -- its neighboring town, Herculaneum, was destroyed as well.
When excavation began back in the 1700s, archaeologists were pleasantly surprised to find that most of the town was perfectly preserved. Ancient villas, as well as wooden objects such as roofs and doors, and daily items like papyrus and food, were found to be in near-perfect condition.
Book a tour of Herculaneum to gain an interesting insight into the lifestyle and culture of its people.
Herculaneum Tickets1 April to 31 October - From 9 AM to 7 PM (Last entry: 5.30 PM)
1 November to 31 March: From 9 AM to 5 PM (Last entry: 3.30 PM)
Closed: 25 December, 1 May, and 1 January
Duration: Ideally, it would take two days to complete an entire tour of the ruins; however, you can tour the major parts of the town within a day.
Best Time to Visit: During the off-season, between October to April, if you’re looking to avoid large crowds.
