8 Great Places in Rome: No 1 of 8

1 Pompeii

No visit to Rome would be complete without a day trip to Pompeii. The fastest way to get to Italy’s most popular attraction is to take the train from Rome to Naples and then the Circumvesuviana train route to the ancient site. Both train rides together may take two hours, but you would never forgive yourself if you didn’t visit it after being so nearby it. With either a guided tour or an audio tour, you can walk among the streets of this ruined metropolis to learn about its history and see what remains of 2,000 year old shops, restaurants, residential homes, baths and brothels as well as political, religious and commercial centers. There are also plastered body casts of actual people who died in the catastrophic volcanic eruption of 79 AD. The National Archeological Museum of Pompeii contains a fascinating collection of artifacts and art works that were excavated from the Pompeii site.

  1. There are thousands of people visiting Italy every day. Touring business gets lots of profits because of Italy's attractions. Most people travel to this country in Summer because of the calm and cold climate of Italy, and also to see great historical places, gardens, water falls, etc. Having Italy Road Map is one of the most important thing a traveler should have.
