Pompeje, Italy

Pompeii: from the Porta Marina to the amphitheatre

🚶 2.6 km · 📍 8 stops · ⏱ ~165 min

A short route through Pompeii for a single morning: from the gate where the town used to end and something else began, past the forum and the baths with their underfloor heating, to the most visited house in town, into the largest private palace with its mosaic of a million and a half stones, along the main shopping street to the oldest stone amphitheatre in the world, and finally to a garden where casts of people lie exactly where it caught them. Buy your ticket online in advance. Bring water, a hat and shoes that can take uneven paving — there is little shade here and a great deal of stone.
