Examine ancient plaster casts and artifacts
Follow your expert guide into central public spaces to view preserved plaster casts of local residents. Learn how sudden volcanic fallout captured the exact physicality of Roman daily life in vivid detail.

After your tour, travel up the winding roads of Mount Vesuvius National Park toward the summit area. Take a short break for lunch before beginning your scenic hike up the gravel paths leading toward the crater edge.
