The Strategic Blueprint: Planning Your Expedition
Success at Pompeii starts before you arrive. Use these choices to balance time, comfort, and crowds.
How to Get to Pompeii
- Circumvesuviana (Budget): €3.30; ~30–40 min from Naples/Sorrento; frequent but crowded and hot; be vigilant for pickpockets.
- Campania Express (Comfort): ~€15; ~30 min; guaranteed seating, A/C, luggage space; few departures—book ahead.
- Bus: €5–€7; ~20–40 min; direct services (e.g., FlixBus); timing varies with traffic.
- Car / Private Transfer: Highest comfort and flexibility; paid parking near entrances; Naples-area traffic can be stressful.
Tickets, Tours, and New Rules
- Buy official tickets online via pompeiisites.org (VivaTicket). Ignore touts claiming ‘skip-the-line’.
- All tickets are nominative—carry matching ID for entry checks.
- In high season, daily visitor caps split morning/afternoon slots; popular times sell out.
- Match your style to the right format: self-guided (map/app), audio guide, small-group tour, or private guide.
