Paestum Archaeological Site Skip-the-Line Guided Tour

Walk through the ruins of Paestum

Bypass the queues and revel in the joy of exploring the ruins of Paestum with a small group of 20 people during a 2-hour guided tour, where 3 Greek temples await your admiration. While you’re exploring the site, your archaeologist guide will let you in on the history of the ruins in English or Italian according to your preference. Constructed in the 6th century, the Doric temples remain immaculate to this day due to the abandonment of the malaria-prone site until 1968, when it was discovered. Next to one of the temples, you will see an amphitheater, which was one of the earliest to be ever built back in 50 BC. Do not miss the forum, a place that was the hub of political, religious, and social events in the town and the market.

Explore the National Archaeological Museum

On your visit to the National Archaeological Museum, explore the artworks of the Magna Greece, and other important artifacts that were discovered in the town such as funerary, pots, centuries-old frescoes, and ceramics. Greek colonists established the first settlements in the town, which later rose to prominence as the most populated city in Magna Graecia.

Opt for a private tour to experience a customized exploration of the ancient city with a knowledgeable guide, ensuring personal attention throughout the journey while sharing engaging stories and history.
