It's easy to reach by escalator then a five or six minute walk to the platform. From there, board your scheduled train to Pompeii station.
Try and relax on the way to Pompeii, as Mount Vesuvius will loom in and out of view en route. It's the same colossus today as when it erupted and will likely do so again in the near future, if vulcanologists are to be believed.
At the Pompeii meeting point, locate your guide and enter the ruined city. Understand why the eruption happened and feel the fate of the Pompeiians. What have we learned and what is yet to be discovered?
You will tour streets torn asunder by the violence of nature, enter buildings wherein vivid frescoes adorn walls that have not changed since Pompeii's last day, and feel at one with antiquity.
Upon conclusion of the tour and time inside the ruins to roam free, walk back to the station once again for the return train back to Naples and then on to Rome.
