***NOTE: this program is currently not running (summer 2007)...please check the www2.pompeiisites.org in the future to see if the program starts back up***


There is a program now (running from May to October) wherein the excavations are open in the evening from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

As the website says "A moonlight walk among the history of two thousand years ago. The excavations at Pompeii are also open after sunset, thanks to a fixed lighting system which allows a unique, fascinating visit of one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in the world. "

As we took a bus trip we were at the mercy of the bus driver.
Now where else in the world can you pull into a gas station and got to the bar all in one stop.
The food and drinks were not bad and I think the driver was getting a cut of what we spent there.

Not really current night life but it was what they had back then. An open air theater where they performed.
