Pompeii entry tickets & excursions
Entry tickets and guided tours to Pompeii
Antique Pompeii - a striking monument to the everyday life of Ancient Rome - and today continue to attract admirers of a great civilization. The thick layer of ash and lava that fell upon the city as a result of the devastating eruption of Vesuvius forever stopped the life of one of the most prosperous centers of an empire that had gone down the centuries.
A traveler who first visited Pompeii has a unique opportunity to take part in unforgettable excursions. Next to the elegant villas owned by the nobility and the luxurious residences of the middle class, there are modest dwellings where families of ordinary citizens lived. The houses still have furniture, jewelry, gold and silver products, bronze and terracotta lamps, work tools and other household items.
Knowledgeable guides will also show other sights of Pompeii worthy of attention:
- Forum;
- Basilica;
- Stabian terms;
- Capitol;

Since the territory of Pompeii is quite extensive, it may take a whole day to examine only one object. At the entrance gate to the city there is a wardrobe where you can leave your bags, and at the railway station there is a paid luggage storage. When visiting Pompeii, it is advisable to have sunscreen, a hat and drinking water with you - all this can come in handy during the summer heat.
