My husband and I had a wonderful time exploring Pompeii! The ticket directions worked perfectly and we were easily able to find our way to redeem the tickets at the ticket desk. If you're like us and like to stop and look at every little thing historic places have to offer - I highly recommend being there as early as possible to take full advantage.

The site is beautiful, well-maintained and clean. It's a shame you have to go out the same door to collect your ID card when returning the audio guides.

Pompeii is a breathtaking city, much bigger than I imagined but absolutely spectacular. Be prepared to do a lot of walking and see a lot of history in the open air, just like anywhere else in Italy. As far as buying tickets is concerned, it's very simple and easy, but I suggest that you buy them online and get a voucher or QRCODE to enter the park directly, without having to go to a ticket counter.

We bought tickets online so we wouldn't have to queue. But when we arrived at Pompei, we had to transform our digital tickets and queue like everyone else who didn't have tickets! So there's no point in buying wire-cut tickets. But for the audioguide. It was perfect.

Despite the instructions, given the number of tourists, it was difficult to find my way around. The information sheet at the ticket office for the entrance to Pompeii was a great help. The 3d glasses at the herculaneum were brilliant

Your experience

Deeply ingrained in myth and history, Pompeii dates back to nearly 2,000 years ago. An ancient site, the town was unearthed in 1748 AD after the infamous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Over here you can revel in the ancient glory of the Campania region forever immortalized by the volcanic debris, standing as a true testament of nature’s infinite existence.

Upon arrival in Pompeii make your way into the attraction where your adventure truly begins. With ancient ruins and age-old artifacts all around, and a skyline dominated by Mount Vesuvius, the visuals through this discovery are breathtaking. Ideally, you want to spend around 4 hours here, there’s plenty for you to see. Walk around the Forum, visit the Basilica or relax under the shade of a tree near the amphitheater, it’s your call. There are numerous frescos and statues spread over the town along with 25 street fountains, 4 public baths and many business buildings which paints an almost real picture of the town in its hay day. As you stroll through the cobbled streets you’ll find yourself looking at everything with a sense of wonder and amazement. After all, you’re in a place that is frozen in the fabric of time.

Your understanding of the ancient world is sure to change after you see how much we have in common with people who lived in the first century. From everyday objects to wine barrels, there’s a lot for you to see and discover on this tour.

If you are one of those people who would rather live an experience than hear about it, check out MAP tickets. With the help of 3D reconstruction and virtual reality, you'll walk the streets of Pompeii in its glory days. See how mundane lives in ancient Rome looked like right before Mount Vesuvius turned the blossoming empire into ashes and lava!
