Pompeii Archaeological Park

About

Pompeii Archaeological Park, located in the municipality of Pompeii (80045, Campania), is one of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites. The sprawling complex presents a vivid snapshot of a Roman city frozen by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, with well‑preserved mosaics, frescoes, and public buildings such as the Forum, the Amphitheatre, and the House of the Faun. Visitors can explore a network of excavations stretching from the ancient Forum to the opulent Villa of the Mysteries, and can also gain access to adjacent suburban villas and museums including Boscoreale, Oplontis, Stabiae, and the Libero D’Orsi Archaeological Museum. The site is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a maximum capacity of 20,000 visitors and a range of ticket options. A free shuttle – the Pompeii Artebus – connects the park with its suburban sites and nearby towns. The MyPompeii annual pass offers unlimited entry for one year at a competitive price (35 € for general admission, 8 € for EU residents under 25), available for purchase online through TicketOne and at the park’s ticket offices. The park also offers guided tours, educational visits, and a visitor‑friendly environment for people with disabilities. With its blend of historical insight, cultural richness, and practical visitor services, Pompeii remains a must‑visit destination for history enthusiasts, families, and solo travelers alike.
