Absolutely fantastic, Pomepii gives a little look into the scale of roman cities and the disaster of the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. Not a lot of the frescoes are left, so I recommend going to the museum in Napoli the day before, so you can really get an idea of what it could have looked like.

I spend the whole day in pompeii, and I didn’t even see all I would have liked to see. Also, and this is very important: bring supplies. There are lots of spots on the site to refill your waterbottle, but there is no place to get food, only outside the gates of the site.
