Overview

Guilty of decimating Pompeii and Herculaneum in AD 79, Mt Vesuvius looms over the Bay of Naples like a beautiful, silent menace.

Stopped in their tracks by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Pompeii offers the best look anywhere at what life in Rome must have been like around 2,000 years ago.

Learn how to make handmade pasta and enjoy a delicious lunch comfortably seated at a roof-top terrace overlooking the bay of Naples.
