]]> If you’re a history buff, and love to incorporate real life history lessons with your travels, then you have come to the right place. There are many countries around the world that offer glimpses into history and allow you feel like you’re walking back in time. We’ve complied a few of our favorites into a short list so that you’ll know where to start. Keep reading and start packing your bags for the ultimate history vacation.

Jerusalem, Israel

Jerusalem is the epicenter of monotheistic religion. The cobblestoned streets and ancient ruins is a testament to the thousands of years the land has witnessed. We recommend a stroll through Jerusalem’s Old City where you’ll enter through ancient gates into times of Judea. The city is separated into quarters—Jewish, Armenian, Arab, and Christian—all offering their own unique history and culture that is a tapestry waiting to be unwrapped.

Pompeii, Italy

Pompeii is the ancient city in Italy that was destroyed by a volcano thousands of years prior. Many artifacts, stones, and and statues, remain intact after being in rubble for so many years. The city allows you to step back in time, and bear witness to the lives of Ancient Romans, and see genuine artifacts that make you feel like you were really there.

Athens, Greece

Athens makes your middle school history textbook come to life. As the sight of the first Olympic games, you’ll get a glimpse into life as an ancient Greek and bear witness to Ancient ruins that will transport you back in time.

]]> You can never be bored in Rome, Italy because there is so much to see and do in this fantastic city. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider giving a unique twist to your visit by also checking out some neighboring tourist attractions. These are some of the best day trips you can take from Rome.

Tivoli

Tivoli is a small town near Rome that is popular among tourists for its two UNESCO World Heritage Sites; Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este. Hadrian’s Villa is a large archeological complex highlighted by remains of an ancient villa used as a retreat by Roman Emperor Hadrian. Villa d’Este, on the other hand, is famed for its Italian Renaissance gardens and impressive fountain system.

Pompeii

You are probably familiar with Pompeii, an ancient city that was buried by ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. It was only in the 18th century that the city was rediscovered, and its well-preserved remains got uncovered. It now offers one of the best insights into the life of ancient Romans.

Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is a picturesque stretch of coastline near Naples that is well worth the trip from Rome. It has been one of the most popular resort spots in Italy since the Roman Empire, known for its spectacular villas, charming fishing villages, and secluded beaches.

]]> There are few experiences quite as moving as stepping into the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. Standing in the same streets as people did 2,000 years ago, it is a time capsule that can transport you right back to those remote times. Fortunately, Pompeii is not the only place you can experience this. Here are four off the beaten track alternatives in Italy.

Villa Oplontis

Said to be the summer home of Emperor Nero’s second wife, this villa was preserved in the same eruption of Mount Vesuvius as Pompeii. What is distinctive about this site is the view it gives us of elite Roman vacation residences.

Terme Stabiane

Here you can find the ruins of some thermal Roman baths. You can walk through the changing rooms, hot rooms, tepid rooms, cold rooms, and lounge rooms. You can get here from Napoli Central Station.

Rione Terra

This breathtaking site presents the brilliantly preserved underground city of the once-bustling ancient Greek seaport Rione Terra. The city has been built over by subsequent generations.

Baia Sommersa 

Once a bustling summer resort at the height of the Roman Empire hosting such illustrious individuals as Cicero and Nero, Baia is now a sunken city that has to be visited by scuba diving.

Here are four amazing monuments that will take your breath away! 

Pompeii, Naples  

The ancient city of Pompeii is located near modern-day Naples. In 79 AD, this historical site was buried under tons of lava and ashes after an eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The tragedy kept the city’s ruins deep underground for 1,600 years. 

Forbidden City, Beijing 

This gigantic royal complex, located in the center of China’s capital, has become one of the most visited monuments globally in recent years. The area contains around 800 objects with 8,000 rooms and covers 720,000 m2.

Alhambra, Spain 

This beautiful fortress is located in Granada, Spain, and enjoys the status of one of the most important attractions in Spain. It is known as a masterpiece of Islamic architecture that was built over an old Roman fortification in 889 AD. 

Topkapi Saray, Istanbul 

This enormous residence was built in the 15th century when it served as the administrative headquarters of the Ottoman Empire. Now it is a well-known museum in Turkey that offers countless impressive stories and artifacts.
