Step into the past with a guided tour of Paestum

Step back in time and experience the charm of ancient Greek temples with our tour of Paestum with tickets included. Stand before these magnificent solemn Doric shrines of perfect proportions expressing the universal language of beauty and style.

We are in Magna Graecia, a region where audacious settlers landed millennia ago to found flourishing cities. Paestum is first among them and offers the best preserved archaeological remains.

The meeting point for this tour is the ticket office of the National Museum. You’ll find this inside the archaeological park, directly in front of the temples. Your expert guide will be there to greet you and, with tickets in hand, the exploration of Paestum will begin!

With a true expert by your side, you’ll discover all there is to know about this fascinating site. Your archaeologist guide knows the legendary history of Paestum and is eager to share it with you. You’ll learn how the temples were ornately decorated with brightly colored stuccoes in ancient times. And all about the sophisticated techniques they used to build these impressive stone giants.

The Greeks actually named the city Poseidonia, in honor of the god Poseidon. But the Romans  gave it the name of Paestum, after conquering it in the third century BC. Standing before the striking Roman remains is an unforgettable experience. The ancient amphitheater and forum are breathtakingly beautiful. At the Archaeological Museum you’ll rest your eyes on the slabs of the famous Tomb of the Diver and refined Attic ceramics. You’ll pause to absorb the friezes depicting mythological scenes of the temple at Foce Sele, dedicated to the goddess Hera.

This is not a tour just for archeology connoisseurs, this is for everyone who loves history, mythology and beauty. However, by the end, you will be something of an expert yourself!
