Hi, let us introduce ourselves: we are a group of twenty mothers living in the centre of Naples and we are attending a course of English language organized by our children's school.
We wish to be helpful to the several tourists crowding Naples in these years by giving them some suggestions about what to visit in this beautiful town.
There are lots of guides focused on adults' interests , but what about children? All of us know how it's hard travelling with children: visiting new places it's interesting and discovering them together with our chilren makes it even more pleasant.
But children soon get sick of museums and churches and a nice experience can turn into a nightmare if you aren't able to propose them amusing or diverting activities.
Our main aim is giving a hand to those tourists facing a journey with their little children by pointing out some attractions that can be interesting both for adults and children.
So, if you are interested in this topic, visit this blog in the next weeks: we are going to fill it with more and more information.

| « THE REGGIA OF CAPODIMONTE | NATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM » |
Your older children will certainly appreciate a visit to the excavations of Pompei, the only archaelogical site which gives the real image of a roman city. This is due to the particular burial (under a blanket of 6 meters of ash and rock) caused by the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 AD. For your children will be like hopping into their history book : Pompei was a Roman colony, enriched with private and public buildings, especially in the age of the emperors Augustus and Tiberius, from 27 B.C. to 37 A.D, destroyed by the sudden eruption of the Vulcan “Vesuvius”.The buried city was rediscovered in the 16th century, but exploration only began in 1748, and continued systematically through the nineteenth century up to the most recent excavations, aimed at restoring and attributing the proper value to the ancient city and its exceptional archeological heritage.
Your children will realize, walking along the ancient streets of Pompei, peeping into the houses decorated with frescoes and mosaics, admiring the temples ad the forum, how the life of ancient people was similar to our life: their interest will be roused by the ‘bakery’ with its wood-burning oven, similar to those used today, and the millstones , b
y the theatres and the perfectly preserved amphitheatre, used for gladiator battles, and that was “disqualified' for 10 years because of a violent riot that had broken out between ‘fans’ from Pompeii and Nocera. Finally they will be moved by the garden of the fugitives, a large space cultivated as a vineyard, which houses the plaster casts of some of the victims from 79 AD, overcome by the fury of the eruption while they were seeking an escape.
The excavations are open every day from 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in winter, and from April to October every day from 8.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. You can get there by the Circumvesuviana Train, line Naples-Sorrento and get off at the stop Pompei Scavi - Villa dei Misteri. The ticket price is € 11.00, but the entrance is free for EU citizens under 18 years.
Mind that this excursion is rather tiring, so it is not advisable to go there with little children. Moreover, in summer it is better to visit the excavation in the early morning or in the late afternoon, when the sun is not too hot.
