Early morning, at opening, avoids the coach crowds and gives softer light for photos. Late spring or early autumn offers milder temperatures and fewer tour buses.

Over
Korte feiten: Walking the streets reveals preserved frescoes, mosaics and carbonized loaves, offering an uncanny freeze-frame of daily life. Volcanic ash entombed homes and public spaces, and archaeologists have recovered more than 1,150 plaster casts of people caught in the eruption.
Hoogtepunten: Step into a street where a bakery still holds dozens of carbonized loaves, and an amphitheatre once seated around 20,000 spectators. A floor mosaic nearly six by three meters, called the Alexander Mosaic, once graced the grand reception room of the House of the Faun.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes, the ancient paving stones are uneven and often slippery.
- Carry at least 1.5 liters of water and a hat, shade is scarce across the ruins.
- Arrive at opening and follow less-traveled side streets to avoid coach groups concentrated near the forum.
- Spend extra time with the plaster casts and the bakery with carbonized loaves, they deliver the most visceral sense of the past.
