Visit Pompeii and learn more about ancient life before the eruption while admiring the volcanic beauty of the Amalfi Coast. Explore Pompeii, starting with a visit to the city’s longest road, Via dell'Abbondanza. You can visit the amphitheater, one of the oldest surviving Roman structures of its kind, carefully dug out after being mostly buried by the Mt. Vesuvius eruptions. Then, take a solemn tour of the Garden of the Fugitives, where you can see the preserved casts of 13 victims of the eruptions and learn more about the tragic history of this famous city. From there, you can head to Villa dei Misteri (the “villa of mystery”), a remarkably well-preserved suburb on the outskirts of town, where you can immerse yourself into what life was once like here.

Know more about your day trip

The drive from Naples to Pompeii takes approximately 30 minutes depending on traffic. With a private Daytrip transfer you'll travel directly without the hassle of navigating public transportation connections or finding parking near the archaeological site.
Yes, official guides are available at the entrance to Pompeii, who can provide tours in various languages. Alternatively, your Daytrip driver can arrange for a private, licensed guide in advance, which is recommended during peak season when official guides may be fully booked.
Pompeii offers an unparalleled glimpse into daily Roman life because the volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius preserved the city in remarkable detail. Unlike other ancient sites, you'll see intact buildings, streets, water systems, graffiti, frescoes, and even plaster casts of victims frozen in their final moments.
About 44 hectares (two-thirds) of Pompeii's excavated area is open to visitors, though specific buildings may close for restoration on a rotating basis. The site is vast, and it's impossible to see everything in a single visit, which is why having a plan for the highlights is essential.
Pompeii is expansive with minimal shade and uneven basalt stone streets. Pick up a map at the entrance, use the water fountains throughout the site to refill bottles, and consider which entrance (Porta Marina or Piazza Anfiteatro) best suits your planned route through the ruins.
There's a cafeteria inside the archaeological park near the Forum offering sandwiches drinks and snacks. Several benches and shaded areas provide resting spots. For a more substantial meal consider dining at one of the restaurants near the main entrance before or after your visit.
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer the most pleasant temperatures for exploring the exposed ruins. Summer can be extremely hot with limited shade, while winter provides fewer crowds but shorter opening hours and an increased chance of rain, which can make the stone streets slippery.
The Pompeii historical site has little shade and may be difficult for small children during the hottest months, but it is manageable. The stone casts of the victims of the volcanic explosion may be disturbing to some children, but it is also a good opportunity to explore these complicated feelings about the past.
