Pompeii

Visitor information

When to visit Pompeii, what to wear and bring, the weather, the official ticket, a morning in the city, and the train from Naples.

A two-story house front on a Pompeii street, with a brick doorway and a stone sidewalk.

When to visit Pompeii

Pompeii is open almost every day. The useful split is heat, rain, and the season’s last entry, not a month when the gate locks.

The Odeon at Pompeii, seen across ruined walls, with a curved seating bank and cypress trees.

What to wear and bring to Pompeii

What to wear and bring to Pompeii: shoes with a tread, sun protection, a small bag, and the ID that matches the ticket.

A cobbled street in Pompeii, lined with ruined stone walls, doorways, and a raised sidewalk.

Pompeii weather

Pompeii weather is bay weather: hot and open to the sun in summer, mild and wetter from autumn into early spring.

The stone seating of the amphitheatre at Pompeii, with arched openings in the outer wall.

The official ticket

The €20 city ticket, the villas it leaves out, and the Sunday we do not sell.

Vineyards growing among the ruined houses of Pompeii, with trees and tiled roofs behind.

Naples to Pompeii

The Circumvesuviana, the station name that matters, and the day trip that still needs a ticket.
