History Near Naples | 1 Guide

No region on Earth preserves ancient daily life like the cities buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD—Pompeii's streets frozen mid-step, Herculaneum's wooden furniture carbonized but intact, villas with frescoes still glowing after two millennia. Our history guides take you through these incomparable sites with the context that brings ancient Romans to life, explaining what the graffiti tells us about politics and passion, how the bread shops operated, and what the preserved bodies reveal about that terrible August day. Beyond Pompeii, discover the Greek temples of Paestum and the layers of Naples' own history stretching back to its founding as Neapolis.
