Imagine what life was like 2,000 years ago at Forum, the ancient social center of the ruined city of Pompeii and a World Heritage Site. One of the main attractions in the city, which was buried in the 1st century CE, the central area has remained eerily frozen in time. What was once used as a marketplace for the Romans is now a major tourist spot. Walk among the crowds of tourists and experience the ghost-like presence of Ancient Rome in what has become an open-air museum two millennia past the natural disaster that claimed this city.

Amazing experience, it's easy to imagine what life was like in this setting. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD it covered the village in 19 feet of ash. The bodies they were able to recover are coated with hardened ash, it was mostly the slaves that were told to stay and look after the treasures when the eruption began. It was very busy but easy to find space in the 170 acres it's spread across. Cost €22 each to enter, definitely worth a visit.

Hard to imagine what’s going on 2000 years ago, and what happen to those people. This is one of the most mystic and famous place in the world. Really cool that we can check this out. High recommend to hire a tour guide, and they can tell you the story and what’s important to see.
