Which Entrance to Use for Skip the Line Tickets? 

Pompeii has three entrance points - Porta Marina, Piazza Anfiteatro, and Piazza Esedra. However, only the latter two entrances are currently accessible to the public. Skip-the-line ticket holders can enter through either of the two entry gates. The Piazza Anfiteatro gate is located east of Pompeii. Get down at the last stop if you’re taking a bus to Mount Vesuvius. The Piazza Esedra entrance point is mainly used for group tours, which is why it doesn’t see much of a crowd allowing you a hassle-free entry into Pompeii.
