You step off an air-conditioned coach and the heat of southern Italy meets you first: sun on stone, a faint scent of lemon from distant terraces, and the low hum of the sea beyond the cliffs.

History
Pompeii was buried by Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, preserving a Roman city in ash; the Amalfi Coast’s towns evolved from maritime republics and centuries of coastal trade.
Conservation
Both the archaeological park and coastal towns face wear from heavy visitation; stick to marked paths, avoid touching frescoes, and minimize single-use plastics to reduce local impact.
Reserve your spot on the Pompei, Amalfi Coast and Positano from Rome Shared Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Pompeii’s uneven Roman paving and loose volcanic gravel require good traction and ankle support.
Carry a refillable water bottle
Water fountains are limited inside the archaeological park; refill before you board the coach.
Protect against sun and heat
Coastal glare and the open ruins offer little shade — wide-brim hat and sunscreen will make the day comfortable.
Have small bills and cards
Positano shops and beach vendors accept cards inconsistently; bring euros for quick purchases and public toilets.
Supportive walking shoes
Essential for cobbled streets and the archaeological park’s uneven ground.
Refillable water bottle (1–1.5L)
Staying hydrated is crucial during long daylight hours and when shade is scarce.
