Exploring Naples, Vesuvius, and Pompeii would be in the itinerary. What’s so special about sightseeing here is that you don’t just view the sights and attractions. You will actually get to explore these natural and historic places. One of the most memorable family activity holidays in Italy that you will probably have is exploring the various Roman ruins of Herculaneum or the preserved ancient city of Vesuvius. The past and present atmospheres mix so well in these ancient sites that you can’t help but wonder how it is to live during those times. If the weather permits, you can actually arrange to climb Mount Vesuvius.
