Private Pompeii and Naples Archeological Museum
Private Pompeii and Naples Archeological Museum
The ancient city of Pompeii was a flourishing seaside city of 20,000 residents before Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., smothering its buildings and inhabitants with suffocating ash and pumice. While in this perfectly preserved town you will get extraordinary peek into everyday Roman life. Walk past graffiti-carved walls, natural molds of human bodies, everyday objects like food and the last customer's money left on the counter of a popular tavern. From there you will make your way toward Naples, with a stop at a cameo factory then enjoy a delicious lunch of Neapolitan pizza with succulent Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and a perfectly paired wine.
Once at the National Archeological Museum you will skip the lines and view treasures looted from Pompeii and nearby Herculaneum as well as a series of awe-inspiring mosaics from Pompeii's Casa del Fauno. You will also find an astounding collection of Greek, Roman and Renaissance artifacts, as well an antiquities from the late 18th-century Bourbon king Charles VII and his family.
