Frequently asked questions

For golden-hour shots, head to the Forum and the Via dell'Abbondanza, where the low sun casts long shadows across the ancient stones. The Temple of Apollo and the Amphitheatre offer great angles, especially near sunset. For a broader perspective, climb to the upper terraces of the archaeological park for views of Vesuvius looming over the ruins.
