Pompeii | Preserved ancient Roman city frozen in time

Pompeii was a vibrant blue-collar town until the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 covered it under a thick carpet of volcanic ash and reduced it to ruins and debris. Today, what is left of the ancient city of Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers a unique window into the daily life of a bustling Roman city. Discover the secrets of Pompeii, learn about its history, and find the perfect ticket for an unforgettable journey into the past.

Things to know before buying Pompeii tickets

  • If you're booking a standard entry ticket, then it's best to purchase a map/information brochure so you don't miss out. The signages and explanations are neither evenly distributed throughout the ruins nor are comprehensive enough. Another alternative to the standard ticket is booking the audio guide tour with Pompeii Tickets with Audio Guide for a more insightful experience. Choose the commentary among Italian, English, French, Spanish or German.
  • Do ensure your ticket covers all the attractions within Pompeii, as some tickets (like the standard entry ticket) doesn't offer access to some highlights like the Villa of the Mysteries.
  • Want to really get the most out of Pompeii? Go for a guided tour! Not only will you skip all the guesswork and learn valuable insights, but you could also find yourself in a cozy group of fewer than 15 people if you opt for the small-group tour. And here’s a fun bonus — we’ve got guides speaking everything from English and Spanish to French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and now Japanese and Chinese (Traditional)!
  • If you want to enhance the site experience further, consider booking a tour guided by an archeologist. Their expertise will help you gather information beyond the ruins to their preservation, composition, restoration and more. You can check out this ticket if you wish to take this tour.
  • Book combo tours to Mount Vesuvius and Herculaneum for a more comprehensive understanding of the region's history and the impact of the 79 AD eruption. Combo tours are also cost-effective; it works out to be cheaper if you have a single ticket as opposed to buying individual entry tickets to each of these attractions.
  • Got a full day? Make the most of it by booking day trips from Naples or Sorrento. Catch not only Pompeii but also Herculaneum or Mount Vesuvius (depending on your ticket option) and get everything covered — from transport to availing a guided tour.
  • In Pompeii, ongoing excavations and preservation efforts mean that some areas might unexpectedly open or close. Some buildings might also be visible only from the outside. Keep tabs on this information so you know what to expect on your tour.
  • Pompeii tickets are nominative, meaning you need to provide the full names of all guests while booking. Ensure the names provided at checkout match your ID cards for a hassle-free entry.
