.Begin your day with a guided visit to the archaeological site of Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A professional archaeologist will lead you through temples, shops, villas, theaters, and bathhouses, sharing insights into everyday life in the ancient Roman city. Before entering, stop at a cameo workshop, where you can admire the traditional art of shell carving and use the restrooms.
