Post-lunch, delve into one of the world’s most significant archaeological sites: Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Skip the line and join a guided tour to explore the haunting ruins of Pompeii. Transport yourself back to the fateful year of 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius unleashed its deadly volcanic fury, preserving this once-thriving Roman city in time.
