Visiting the Ruins of Pompeii, Italy Travel Guide Transcript:
While many travellers visit Pompeii on a day trip, we chose to base ourselves here for a few days. The main draw, of course, were the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was buried under ash and pumice when Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. We spent half a day walking through the world's largest excavation and archaeological site, and what follows it our mini travel guide.
Our first stop inside the complex was the Amphitheatre of Pompeii. Built around 70 BC, this is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre to have been built of stone; for comparison the Colosseum in Rome wouldn’t come into existence for another century. We toured the grounds and also checked out the music exhibit on site, because it turns out a lot of bands have played here over the years!
After visiting the amphitheatre which is on the very east end, we started making our way into the city. The streets were cobbled and all along there were rows of houses and villas, many of them with impressive frescoes that tell the tale of a wealthy city with lavish homes.
One of the reasons Pompeii is so well preserved is because it was buried quickly by volcanic ash and pumice, plus the lack of air and moisture also allowed for the buried artifacts to be extremely well preserved. Stepping into the homes is like stepping into the past; you can still see the elaborate mosaic floors and vibrant frescoes frozen in time.
Continuing our walk through Pompeii, we eventually reached the Forum. This square would have been the centre of life for locals with temples, municipal buildings, and markets. The statue of the centaur, half-man half-horse, is a focal point, as is the view of Mount Vesuvius looking down on the ruins.
To finish off our visit of Pompeii, we walked along the southern edge of the ruined city where we saw the casts of the victims of Vesuvius. When archaeological teams began excavating Pompeii, they noticed there were large voids in the compacted ash whenever they were digging around bones. By pouring plaster into the spaces, they were able to capture the final poses of the residents’ last moments in the city.
One of the best discoveries of our time in Pompeii was Pizzeria Alleria, we stumbled here soaking wet on our first night in the city and we just couldn’t stay away after that. Here’s what the fuss is all about.
After that, we ended up getting a second Margherita pizza - the first one was just too tasty! - and then we also ordered the Nutella cheesecake, which was just as decadent as it looks.
We started our do-it-yourself tour of modern Pompei at Piazza Bartolo Longo, a beautiful plaza lined with palm trees right in the heart of the city. Standing in the square, it’s impossible to miss the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei, where once you step you are greeted with painted domes and golden ceilings. And then from there, we went to the top of the bell tower for a 360-degree views of the city.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Herculaneum Half-day Tour - What to see in Italy's Roman ruins - Mini-documentary
This is what you might see during a half-day / 4-hour tour of Herculaneum's Roman ruins in Italy. Note - You’ll get round the whole site in 3 or 4 hours but some areas are usually closed for conservation.
Be sure to also check out part 1 - the Pompeii tour (9m06s):
My video of what to see in Sorrento is here (6m16s):
And here's my short film about a day on Capri (3m34s)
This is my Positano Day Trip film (3m10s):
About this Herculaneum mini-documentary:
Herculaneum is about 6 kilometres form Mount Vesuvius and was destroyed in 79 AD by the same eruption that engulfed Pompeii.
Only one quarter of the city has been uncovered, with the modern town of Ercolano sitting on top of the remainder.
The city lay buried for centuries in a solid mass of pumice and ash to a depth of 12 to 30 metres.
Herculaneum was a smaller, wealthier city than Pompeii, covering about 20 hectares and with 4000 - 5000 inhabitants.
Instead of the sudden weight of falling ash that crushed roofs and collapsed houses in Pompeii, fast-flowing lava filled Herculaneum from the ground up, supporting walls and roofs as it encased them.
This preserved its multi-storied homes, complete with doors and staircases, as well as a wealth of organic material missing in Pompeii. Wooden furniture, textiles, and even foods tell us much about everyday life here, and many vivid frescoes and mosaics remain intact.
In this film we tour the streets and see inside the houses, bars and baths of ancient Herculaneum.
The film ends at the boathouse, where there are skeletons of victims who died at the seashore while waiting for rescue.

Herculaneum, Italy Walking Tour in 4K
****You can click on the time links below to skip ahead.****On August 24th, 79 AD, Mt. Vesuvius erupted for the first time in centuries. Herculaneum, just 3 miles away from the base of Mt. Vesuvius was spared from initial destruction as the wind carried most of the ash and pumice on to Pompeii. On the following night, the plume of ash above Mt. Vesuvius collapsed causing massive pyroclastic flows that buried both Pompeii and Herculaneum. While most of Pompeii has been excavated. It is estimated that only 25% of Herculaneum has been excavated. The rest lies under the current city of Ercolano.

Pompeii vs Sorrento, Italy
If you are thinking of a vacation near the Amalfi Coast we wanted to do a video of Pompeii vs Sorrento in Italy. While traveling the world we stayed in both Pompeii and Sorrento for a week. This video goes over exactly what each town has to offer and where you should spend more time on your vacation. Personally, we did not like Pompeii besides the ruins and that area of town. We felt it was very dirty, especially down by the ocean and Harbour. On the other hand, Sorrento was a beautiful town that has gorgeous views overlooking cliffs to the ocean. Tons of restaurants, people walking around and enjoying the city. If you want to visit Pompeii we suggest you do a day trip to the ruins. The ruins in Pompeii are some of the best in the world. We were glad to have the opportunity to see them but left Pompeii early for Sorrento.

Exploring Italy: SORRENTO! A wonderful hub vacation spot.
I imagine most people have London or Paris much higher up on their travel lists. And for Italy, it's Rome or Venice. However, as great as those places are, Sorrento is also worth checking out.
While the town itself is somewhat limited in things to see and do after a few days (outside of the great food of course), it serves as a terrific hub to the rest of the area. From the city, it's easy to take day trips to Pompeii, Capri, Naples, or the Amalfi Coast.
I definitely will considering returning in time.
Cheers!

South Italy trip - Jan'18
Following the available cheap airplane tickets, me and Petya landed in a rather expensive country for a week long stroll in the Italian South. Starting from Sofia - Bari - Monopoli - Alberobello - Matera - Naples - Pompeii - ...and then back to Sofia. Tons of pizza and other irresistible local delicacies combined with more than 100 000 steps, bus, train and metro rides, light rain, winter sun, huge cathedrals and massive castles later, that's what I managed to combine from my GoPro archive:)
italy vlog | assisi, pompeii, & sorrento
Assisi is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of a smaller version of Florence. The architecture is breathtaking. The Amalfi Coast is a must-see when traveling to Italy.
Sorry this took so long to upload. To make up for it I'll be posting the Capri vlog sooner than planned!
In case you were looking for more of the scenery I will be posting a montage soon.

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii
Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in southern Italy’s Campania region, near the coast of the Bay of Naples. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.
Once a bustling, blue collar port town, Pompeii’s fate was sealed with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 7.9 A.D. From Rome, take the train to Naples at the Napoli Centrale Station. From Sorrento or Naples, you’ll simply take the Napoli-Sorrento Circumvesuviana...

We took a train from Rome down to Naples, then from there headed over to Pompeii to check out this incredible ancient Roman site for the day. It was amazing to wander the cobbled streets of Pompeii and see the effects of the volcanic disaster that occurred over two thousand years ago.
We spent a few hours here but the site is huge and you would need more than one day to be able to really see everything and appreciate it all, on top of that they’re uncovering more and more everyday. It was simply fascinating.
See if you can spot Thor’s hammer also ;)
We’d recommend doing a Guided tour and not buying the audio guides because they were absolutely useless.
