What to expect
Download the app before you leave Naples and activate it on-site. The GPS locates you within the archaeological zone and feeds audio descriptions of temples, homes, forums, and mosaics as you approach them. You'll see photographs and contextual information for each landmark. Move freely—pause at a preserved villa for 20 minutes or skip a less compelling courtyard. Transport details guide you from Naples to the entrance and back. Moderate walking and uneven ancient surfaces are unavoidable; the terrain can be dusty and exposed to sun.
