What to expect
Your driver will pick you up and transport you directly to the Pompeii gates in a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle. You'll have two hours to navigate the site at your own pace—enough time to cover the main streets and buildings, though many visitors find they'd like longer. The ruins are spread across a large area with uneven surfaces typical of ancient stonework. Expect crowds, especially mid-morning. You'll see remarkably intact homes, workshops, temples, and everyday objects preserved by volcanic ash.
Good to know
Book entrance tickets in advance online to skip queues. Wear comfortable walking shoes with grip—surfaces are ancient and can be slippery. Bring water and sun protection; there's minimal shade. Pushchairs and wheelchairs are accommodated, though some areas have steps. All vehicle touchpoints are regularly sanitised.
