1Pompeii Archaeological Park
You can visit the archaeological site of Pompeii for about 2 hours with an English-speaking licensed guide on your behalf, who will show you the main highlights and make the ruins come alive before your eyes. Tickets must be purchased online on the only official website, TicketOne, at 9:00 AM. Every first Sunday of the month, entries into the excavations of Pompeii are free Pompeii was destroyed, and completely buried, during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in AD 79. The volcano collapsed higher roof-lines and buried Pompeii under 25 feet of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy.
