About this activity
Departure from Sorrento in the morning to reach the fascinating Pompeii. The city rises on a plateau of Vesuvian lava, overlooking the Sarno river valley.
The rests of the Roman civilization was rediscovered in the 16th century and the exploration begun in 1748 under the kingdom of Charles III of Burbon. Nowadays, thanks to the ash and lava that petrified the city in 79 AD preserving all the rest, it’s still possible to admire the buildings that founded the city.
You can walk with your guide through the maze of ancient Cardini and Decumani that link the most significant edifices of the city; the Forum that was the city’s main square, the Basilica dedicated to administering justice and for business negotiations, the Roman’s Villas, the Baths and much more…
After a break for the lunch, the driver will lead you to 1.000 mt peak of the imposing Volcano Vesuvius.
The climb until the crater’s edge is very pleasant and the view from there is breathtaking; Thanks to its variegated vegetation of pine woods, holm-oaks, birches, and many orchids, in 1991 the Vesuvius National Park was declared “World Biosphere reserve” by the Unesco.
