    Forum and amphitheater

    Stop at the Forum, once the political, religious, and commercial center of Pompeii. Your guide will bring its bustling past to life amid temple ruins and civic buildings. Then, visit the impressive amphitheatre—older than Rome’s Colosseum—where over 20,000 spectators once watched dramatic gladiatorial contests.

    Discover the House of the Vettii, rich with mythological art and symbols of status. At the Villa of the Mysteries, examine frescoes believed to depict secret Dionysian rituals. End with a powerful stop at the plaster casts—poignant figures frozen in ash, offering a human connection to the eruption’s tragic aftermath.
