Cool and Unusual Things to do in Italy

While Pompeii is widely known, the nearby ancient city of Herculaneum offers a more intimate and well-preserved glimpse into Roman life. Buried by the same volcanic eruption that engulfed Pompeii in 79 AD, Herculaneum provides a unique archaeological experience. The volcanic ash preserved not only buildings and streets but also wooden structures, organic materials, and even original colors on frescoes. Explore the remarkably preserved ruins, including well-preserved villas with intact mosaics, providing a fascinating window into daily life in ancient Rome.
