Pompeii (Scavi di Pompei, Napoli)
(July 2018)
The Address is 80045 Pompei, Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy | |||
|
Official Web page: Pompeii Archaeological Park, what are actually 8 separate sites. The City of Pompeii is the most known of them. It is huge, surely impossible to explore everything in one visit. On the first visit the emotions may be overwhelming, the impressions are arbitrary. It is just too much to see. Archaeologists divided Pompeii into 9 zones. Most images here are from Zone VII, VI and VIII. Majority of artifacts from Pompeii are in a Museum in Naples. Some artifacts are on display in a pavilion (Villa Imperiale) close to the entrance. Excavations are still ongoing, new discoveries are being made and more Pompeiian rooms are open to the visitors. |

One popular way to arrive at the "Porta Marina" of Pompeii is via the Circumvesuviana Train, a narrow gauge local train. One of a kind experience, jam packed, covered by graffiti, loud. Expect local music performers serenading you and collecting gratuity... The train commutes between Naples and Sorrento, with stops at Pompeii and Ercolano (Herculaneum). Very affordable.
