Beschrijving
Na een langdurige rust ontwaakte de Vesuvius op 24 augustus 79 na Christus en ontketende een apocalyptische uitbarsting die de oude Romeinse steden Pompeii en Herculaneum vernietigde. Herculaneum werd ontdekt in de 18e eeuw en is sindsdien uitgegroeid tot een van de meest gerenommeerde archeologische vindplaatsen ter wereld. Een rondleiding door Herculaneum vanuit Napels belooft een onvergetelijke ervaring.
Momenteel toont Herculaneum talloze bezienswaardigheden, waaronder het Huis met het Mozaïek Atrium, het Huis van de Herten, de Thermen van het Forum en het Huis van het Mozaïek van Neptunus en Amphitrite, allemaal de moeite waard om te verkennen.
Herculaneum is kleiner dan Pompeii en kan in slechts anderhalf uur grondig worden verkend. Deze uitgebreide 3-uur durende tour is inclusief vervoer heen en terug vanuit Napels en informatief Engels commentaar.
Terwijl je door de straten van Herculaneum loopt, krijg je niet alleen een uniek inzicht in het privéleven van de Romeinen, maar voel je ook de paniek die de inwoners in zijn greep hield tijdens de vulkaanuitbarsting. Het lijkt alsof je in een tijdmachine stapt en tussen de historische gebouwen van de oude Romeinse stad loopt, begraven door de as van de catastrofale uitbarsting van de Vesuvius in 79 na Christus.
Laat de kans niet voorbijgaan om Herculaneum vanuit Napels te bezoeken, ooit de favoriete bestemming van welvarende Romeinen en de eerste archeologische vindplaats die in de Vesuviaanse regio werd opgegraven.

Kickstart your adventure with a scenic ride along the Bay of Naples, under the watchful eye of Mount Vesuvius, leading through Monte Latteri and Valle dei Chiunz, revealing Tramonti's hidden hamlets. Pizza's global popularity owes much to Tramonti's ancestors, who played a pivotal role in spreading pizzerias worldwide.

At your last stop, you'll dive into a pizza-making workshop at a local Agriturismo, led by a skilled pizza chef.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Spartacus' World at Ancient Capua

Your journey begins at the Arena of Spartacus, the ancient amphitheater in Capua. Second in size only to Rome's Colosseum, this amphitheater is older, better preserved, and less crowded. Join your guide, a specialist in Roman archaeology, to tour the home of the Gladiator school of Ancient Rome where the legendary gladiator Spartacus made his daring escape and ignited his revolt against Roman slavery.Upon leaving the army, Spartacus was sold into slavery. He was ordered to go to Capua to enroll in Gladiator training school, where he rebelled against his enslavement and managed to escape alongside several other trainee gladiators. He became the leader of the growing group of escaped slaves who were ready to fight for freedom and autonomy. Against the odds, Spartacus and his rebel army resisted Roman attempts to overpower them, becoming a symbol of resistance against oppression.As you explore the amphitheater's ‘hypogeum' or underground area, you'll feel like you have a backstage pass to the gladiator shows of days past. The areas here are far better preserved than those found at the Colosseum of Rome. You'll then visit what is known as the 'gladiator's room,' off limits to other visitors. Still being studied, specialist archeologists are still trying to understand the room's original purpose.An augmented reality experience, exclusive to National Geographic travelers, will bring to life the experience of being Spartacus 2000 years ago, complete with reconstructions of the original amphitheater from the perspective of both the spectators and the gladiators. Step into the shoes of Spartacus, and feel the pulse of Ancient Rome.After your tour, relax over a lunch lovingly prepared with local organic produce by owners who take pride in maintaining their historic surroundings. The restaurant is conveniently located on the perimeter of the archeological site.
