Overview

Don't miss the chance to visit the archaeological site of Pompeii. Alongside an expert history guide you will join you in a 2 hour 30 min walking tour to bring back to life the Romans’ lifestyle. Hidden for hundreds of years, after the discovery of Pompeii it became one of the main attractions in the Campania Region. The city has been preserved over the years by the lava which petrified the area. Pompeii was considered one of the most important commercial centres of the area before the disaster. Now, Pompeii is one of the most important UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Itinerary

1. Pompei Parking Zeus
Meet your guide at the Zeus Car Park meeting point
2. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
Join us to explore the legendary ruins of Pompeii. Beat the crowds and enjoy priority access to this extraordinary UNESCO archaeological site.
Duration: 120 mins
3. Foro de Pompeya
The Civil Forum is the core of daily life of the city and is the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management, and trade activities such as markets, as well as the main places of citizen worship.
4. Tempio di Giove Capitolino
The Temple of Jupiter dominates the north side of the Forum, with Mount Vesuvius scenically rising behind. When the colony was founded (80 BC), the temple underwent a radical renovation and became a real Capitolium with the three cult statues of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, which looked like those of the Capitolium in Rome, placed on a high base so as to make them visible to whoever passed in the Forum square.
5. Macellum
The Macellum consists of a tuff quadriporticus with a hall for worship in an elevated position on the eastern side, in line with the entrance. The copies of two marble statues, a female and a male armed, are found on the niches of the side wall, together with the fragment of a larger statue, probably pertaining to an emperor, Titus or Vespasian, indicating how this area was intended for the imperial cult. To its left is a room for meetings of a sacred board and to the right a large room with a masonry counter perhaps for fish to be sold.
6. Via dell’Abbondanza
Via dell’Abbondanza was the ancient main street (decumanus maximus) of ancient Pompeii, which ran across the city in the direction east/west from the Forum to the Porta Sarno. In ancient times the street was crowded and noisy with many shops, workshops ("officinae”), cafes, snack-bars and restaurants for food and drink.
7. Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane)
The Forum Baths are located behind the Temple of Jupiter and date back to the years immediately after the founding of the colony of veterans by General Silla (80 BC). Women's and men's quarters had separate entrances. The men's section presents an apodyterium (dressing room), used also as a tepidarium (for medium temperature baths), frigidarium (for cold baths) and calidarium (for hot baths). Like many buildings in Pompeii, the baths were heavily damaged during the earthquake of 62 AD.
Duration: 10 mins
8. Lupanar
The Lupanar of Pompeii is the most famous brothel in the ruined Roman city of Pompeii. It is of particular interest for the erotic paintings on its walls. Lupanar is Latin for "brothel". The Pompeii lupanar is also known as Lupanare Grande. The prostitutes in the brothel were mostly Greek and Oriental slaves who were paid between two and eight Asses (a glass of wine cost one As) for their services.
Duration: 10 mins
9. Casa del Fauno
Then step inside the elegant House of the Faun, a grand Roman villa famous for its mosaics, including the striking Alexander Mosaic — a masterpiece of ancient art and storytelling.
10. Teatro Grande
Here you’ll admire the Large Theater, an open-air venue where crowds once gathered for comedies, dramas, and musical performances.
11. Basilica
The Basilica, with its extension of 1,500 square metres, was the most sumptuous building of the Forum, and its space was used to carry out business and for the administration of justice. It is accessed from the Forum through five entrances separated by tuff pillars; inside it is divided into three naves with two rows of brick columns with Ionic capitals.
