It seems to me a waste of time to get tickets online, but when you get to Pompeii you have to get them there, and therefore have to queue anyway. The management in that sense is lousy The rest very well

Pompeii is impressive, but we lost a lot of time with the issue of the tickets that had to be validated in the same line where they were purchased, so we did not understand the service.

It was very easy booking the tickets. I even was able to go to the very front of the Pompeii entrance and they transferred my tickets over that I bought from the app. My family and I had the absolute best time.

Your experience

Deeply ingrained in myth and history, Pompeii dates back to nearly 2,000 years ago. An ancient site, the town was unearthed in 1748 AD after the infamous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Over here you can revel in the ancient glory of the Campania region forever immortalized by the volcanic debris, standing as a true testament of nature’s infinite existence.

Upon arrival in Pompeii make your way into the attraction where your adventure truly begins. With ancient ruins and age-old artifacts all around, and a skyline dominated by Mount Vesuvius, the visuals through this discovery are breathtaking. Ideally, you want to spend around 4 hours here, there’s plenty for you to see. Walk around the Forum, visit the Basilica or relax under the shade of a tree near the amphitheater, it’s your call. There are numerous frescos and statues spread over the town along with 25 street fountains, 4 public baths and many business buildings which paints an almost real picture of the town in its hay day. As you stroll through the cobbled streets you’ll find yourself looking at everything with a sense of wonder and amazement. After all, you’re in a place that is frozen in the fabric of time.

Your understanding of the ancient world is sure to change after you see how much we have in common with people who lived in the first century. From everyday objects to wine barrels, there’s a lot for you to see and discover on this tour.

If you are one of those people who would rather live an experience than hear about it, check out MAP tickets. With the help of 3D reconstruction and virtual reality, you'll walk the streets of Pompeii in its glory days. See how mundane lives in ancient Rome looked like right before Mount Vesuvius turned the blossoming empire into ashes and lava! If self-exploration is your jam, go for the audio guide tickets, available in multiple languages.
