We learned a lot from the audio guide!
Pompeii was amazing! I'm so glad I visited! I definitely recommend getting the audio guide, because you can learn a lot. Otherwise, I would have just walked around and wouldn't have known what I was looking at. My favorite part was the Antiquarium. Booking was easy and we entered the site without any problem and explored with no rush.
Interesting exploration at our pace
My husband and I loved exploring Pompeii. We got the audio guide and listened to stories about its history as we walked around. It was really easy to find our way, there were signs everywhere marking the paths. The Forum and the Amphitheater are like an open museum. Definitely worth visiting!

Around midday on August 24, 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted. Volcanic debris started to fall over the city, and the next day, clouds of hot gases formed. The city's inhabitants were crushed or asphyxiated, and its buildings were destroyed. The ash that fell over the city perfectly preserved it.
ROMAN RUINS UNDER A VOLCANO
Book the Pompeii Entrance Ticket and see Mount Vesuvius. It had been dormant for hundreds of years before the disaster that destroyed Pompeii. You can see the oldest Roman amphitheater, built in 70 BC, and the House of the Faun from the 2nd century BC. In the atrium, there is a replica of the famous statue of a satyr or Faun. It hints at the owners' name, as they were called the Satrii. There are many more remains from the everyday lives of Pompeiians.
SEE ANCIENT ROMAN TEMPLES
The Sanctuary of Venus was very special to the people of Pompeii as she was the city's patron goddess. An earthquake in 62 AD destroyed the temple, which still hadn't been rebuilt in 79 CE when the volcano erupted.
SEE WHAT LUXURY WAS IN ANCIENT TIMES
You can add access to the suburban villas of Pompeii to your experience. Visit the Villa of the Mysteries, with a fresco that extends over three walls and shows the god Dionysus and his wife Ariadne. The Villa of Diomedes was a popular destination in the 19th century, and many visitors left graffiti on its walls. After you visit Pompeii, consider adding a Herculaneum guided tour for a more complete look at daily life and the eruption’s legacy.
