Pompeii is hugely popular; in peak season, ticket-office lines at Porta Marina and Piazza Esedra often reach 60-120 minutes. Since 15 Nov 2024, tickets are nominative and the site caps daily visitors at 20,000, divided into timeslots. Here’s how to save time:
Skip the long ticket lines and enter Pompeii after a quick security check. These timed-entry tickets save hours at busy times—so you can wander ancient streets, the Forum and Villa of the Mysteries, not wait in line.
With these tickets, you’ll still need to redeem your voucher on-site at a separate entrance before entering. While this redemption process may involve a short queue, it’s often faster than waiting in the main ticket lines, which can stretch up to 1–2 hours during peak times. Think of it this way: there are two queues—one for buying tickets, and one for redeeming online vouchers. With our tickets, you skip the long ticket purchase line and head straight to the redemption queue, then through security (which is mandatory for all visitors), and you're in.
The ticket with the official audio guide offers a skip-the-line–like experience, as you can collect both your entry ticket and audio guide directly at the quieter Porta Marina Superiore kiosk, avoiding the main ticket counter.
