Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park, Porta Marina (via Villa dei Misteri), 80045 Pompeii Italy
The ruins of ancient Pompeii are one of the most compelling archaeological experiences in the world. Few archaeological sites offer such an immersive experience as the excavations of Pompeii, located a few kilometers south of Naples. In the year 79 A.D., the volcano Vesuvius erupted with such power that it compressed the Roman city with 12 meters of dust and lapilli, and kept the buried city and its residents asphyxiated for nearly 1,700 years. The result is that even today much of the city is remarkably well preserved, and with it much of ancient life, where visitors can stroll and browse among millennia-old houses, temples, intricate details about the daily lives of Pompeii's inhabitants, stores, cafes, amphitheaters and even a brothel.

Stop At: Parco Acheologico di Ercolano, Corso Resina, 187, 80056 Ercolano Italy
In contrast to Pompeii, a visit to the Herculaneum excavations can be concentrated into a few hours and is ideal for those who are short on time but do not want to give up the unique experience of finding themselves walking through the streets of an ancient Roman city!
Herculaneum has undergone a unique conservation phenomenon that is unmatched even by nearby Pompeii. The 16-meter blanket of pyroclastic materials and mud that submerged the city allowed for the preservation of two-story domus, inside of which architectural elements made of wood and marble, jewelry and furnishings, as well as many organic findings were found, which allowed for a detailed reconstruction of the lifestyle of the ancient Herculaneans.
