Search hotels in Pompei

well, you will see a lot of ruined houses, but if you expect to see casts of the people from pompei time, then it will be said to say it, but it's not like that. I expect the casts will be over the whole facility. They've created 200 of casts, and there you will see only around 10 of them behind the grille. Definitely it's not worth of the 16€, but if you want to have the feeling you have been there, then you don't have another possiblity.

Pompei is a delightful and walkable town with numerous restaurants and lodging options. The Cathedral is beautiful. We were fortunate to be there to attend a service. Of course the main reason to go there is for the archeological significance. We hired a private guide from Mondo Guides, Francesco, who was excellent. There is also an amusement park there and some shopping although we did not avail ourselves of those activities. Be careful when you plan your trip which train you get on from Naples AND which station you exit. Determine if your hotel is near the Pompeii Scavi, Pompei, or Pompei Santuario stations. Currently, all entrances to the ruins must be made from the Anfiteatro Portal and exit through the Pompeii Scavi Portal. There are numerous discussions of the Circumvesuvius train and the Campania Express on the various forums and we were sufficiently warned but we took it anyway. For us, in June, due to COVID19 restrictions, it was clean enough and not too crowded. This is reportedly not the usual. Both are old and rickety but will get you to these places. One thing we learned was that the Circumvesuvius has 2 lines and only one of them, the one destined for Sarno, will take you to Pompei Santuario. All of that said, if you want to avoid all the confusion and have the means, just hire a taxi.

It is a must see, an awsome experience, I highly recommend a guide during the visit of Pompeii ruins. It is a lot to walk so you will need proper shoes. Inside the City Ruins you will find stores (food and drinks) with toillets.

In the low season it is a beautiful, calm and worth visiting city. Completely different from noisy and cluttered Naples. It is worth taking the elevator to the tower at the main square. Beautiful view.

Pompei is a great location for sight-seeing. We caught the train to Pompei from Naples and from Pompei to Sorrento which was really easy to do. The ruins were great, the high street had loads of nice coffee shops and pizza places.

Pompei is all about the ruins, the town itself has a few restaurants and shops but that really seems to be it. The town is filthy, there is rubbish everywhere! it is a shocking indictment on Italy. at one point we even saw bloody hypodermic needles laying on the pavement. It has the possibility of being nice but nobody seems to care, it's too late now anyway, you would need to level it with another eruption and start again. Houses are run down and there is no real infrastructure. The roads are lethal, badly maintained and too narrow for the traffic that passes on them, we have driven all through Italy and this is the worst standard of driving we have seen. We have a dog and there is nowhere safe to walk with him, you have to walk on the roads as the paths either stop after a few meters or are so overgrown as to be useless. Do yourself a favour and just get the train here for the ruins. Do not stay!
