Expert Tips for Visiting Pompeii
- Prebook timed entry for weekends and high season to reduce waiting.
- Go early or late for cooler temperatures and softer crowds.
- Wear closed shoes and bring water, hat, and sunscreen—shade is limited.
- Prioritize must-see areas (Forum, theaters, baths, select domus) to avoid backtracking—Pompeii is vast.
- Combine with the MANN in Naples to view the finest mosaics and sculptures discovered here.
Is a guide included with the ticket?
No. Standard tickets do not include guiding. You can add a licensed guide or audio guide to optimize your visit and interpret key domus and frescoes.
Important: Ticket types, eligibility, hours, open domus, shuttle operations, and prices can change. Verify current details on your voucher and the Park’s official notices before your visit.
