    Get the super S.U.P.E.R. ticket for a paltry €18 and you have access to the Palatine Museum amongst much else (Palatine Hill, Forum, House of Augustus, House of Livia, Santa Maria Antiqua, Colosseum), and two days to do it all. A bargain!

    On the 3rd January, the Schola Armaturarum reopens to the public. The story of this place - symbolic of the rebirth of Pompeii following the collapse on Nov 2010 - will be told by restorers, who will illustrate the detailed restoration intervention on the frescoes and back rooms.
