What to expect
You'll use the app as your personal map and narrator, triggering audio segments as you arrive at each landmark. Unlike group tours, there's no fixed itinerary or start time—arrive when you wish and follow your instinct. The narration sets context for mosaics, frescoes, and street layouts without rushing you along. Expect to cover considerable ground on foot through uneven, sometimes steep terrain; wear sensible shoes and carry water. The app works best with a steady mobile signal, so download maps beforehand if coverage feels patchy.
Good to know
Bring a charged phone and download the app before entering the site. The app sells entry tickets, saving time at the gate. Audio is yours permanently after purchase, so revisit recordings at home. Admissions, meals, and a physical guide are separate costs. Wheelchairs are catered for, though cobblestones and gradients demand careful navigation.
