Hear about that incredible August day 1900 years ago, when ash rained down from Mount Vesuvius, turning the sky black and encasing Pompeii in a time capsule.
Stop at ancient cafeterias and bars, cross in Roman crosswalks,
Marvel at the mosaics, the frescoes, the still-brilliant colors.
See the pipes that brought running water to homes and fountains,
Envy how the very rich lived, and see Main Street Roman-style, where regular people bought their meals at take-out joints,
Visit the baths and theatres, gardens and stores,
View plaster casts of the citizens of Pompeii as they died,
See a bakery, a laundry and a brothel,
And ancient graffiti still clear on city walls,
Stand where the Gladiators trained and where they fought in the first Roman Amphitheatre ever.
Experience the wonder that is Pompeii
Non-stop running time: One hour and 35 minutes
Start: Facing Marina Gate in Old City Wall End: Arena (or Garden of the Fugitives with extra walk)
