Popular Tickets in Naples

The history is in itself humbling - the scale of the city and destruction is quite breathtaking as it was a big city - i did feel it was over sanitised a bit and the audio was helpful but a pain to return. Take plenty water and maybe a bit of prep before you go so you can either adopt an itinerary or do your own. When next in area i may do the sister city - but still wow!

We decided against organised trips as they all appeared to spend only 2 or 3 hours at Pompeii, getting the train from Sorrento was easy and we spent over 6 hours in Pompeii. The Audio guides were informative and easy to use. There were also longer talks for additional background, ideal for rest stops in a shady corner.

Online collection of ticket was super fast, but had to line up with others for audio guide. Guide is a phone and batteries only meant to last 4 hours - plan a trip back to the booth to swap if you intend to stay the whole day (which unfortunately I didn’t think of until after).

This site is so much better than Pompeii! The restoration and vision of what had been is clearly amazing. We took the train from Sorrento to the Ecoland Sevia stop. We were lucky there were no crowds and it was an easy walk from the train station. Highly recommend!

Although u never got a guide on the trip to take you on the bus it was well worth doing. The bus had a guided talk as u went along and the driver always helped with meeting times and information needed. Both places were great.
