History & Politics trips to Bay of Naples

• Pull on your walking boots and set off early – you’ll be hiking up the majestic Mount Vesuvius! After leaving your footprints on this infamous volcano (and getting some stunning photos along the way), return to your coach and follow in the path of the mighty eruption of 79 A.D.

• You’ll head to the remains of Pompeii – once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, now a World Heritage Site. The preserved area features excavated ruins of streets and houses to explore, allowing your students to imagine the sights, sounds and smells of the ancient city before it was engulfed in ash and pumice.

• Two more fantastic historic attractions today! Unleash your inner gladiator as you enter the ruins of the Flavian Amphitheatre in Pozzuoli – the third-largest Roman amphitheatre in Italy. Are you not entertained?!

• Next, hop on the coach to Herculaneum, where your students can once again walk among the ancient Roman ruins of a town destroyed by Mount Vesuvius. It’s hard to believe that this area was once the seaside destination for the Roman elite!

If you have time, squeeze in one last visit to the Naples Archaeological Museum on route to the airport. Its impressive collection includes works from Greek, Roman and Renaissance times, as well as Roman artefacts excavated from nearby Pompeii and Herculaneum. If that’s not enough history for a four-day trip, we don’t know what is!
