What’s the experience like?

The air felt a bit heavier as we stepped past the ticket line—no waiting, just straight in. I could hear the crunch of gravel under my shoes and caught a faint whiff of pine from somewhere nearby. The audio guide started up in my ear, telling stories about the Forum and the old bakeries. I remember pausing by a faded fresco, sunlight bouncing off the stones, trying to picture what life looked like here before everything stopped so suddenly.

We wandered through narrow streets where you can still see cart tracks worn into the stone. At one point, a local guide passed by with a group, pointing out how Mount Vesuvius looms in the distance—hard to miss on a clear day. There’s something strange about hearing birds chirping in such an old place. The map made it easy to find quieter corners away from big crowds; I even found a little spot near the amphitheater where you could sit for a minute and just listen to the wind.
