Get back on the coach and head to the remains of Pompeii, the famous town that was covered by ash and pumice in the 79AD volcanic eruption. Discover the amazing artefacts, mosaics and ruins that archaeologists have unearthed over the years. It’s hard to believe that they survived such a catastrophic event!

Today is all about exploring the diverse arts scene in Naples, from renaissance to contemporary.
