The excavations of Pompeii attract millions of tourists every year, who come to the ancient Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. to visit the ruins that have become a symbol of that catastrophic eruption and learn about the history of the ancient city.
An eruption that destroyed the city of Pompeii and neighboring towns in a matter of hours. Submerged first by ash and lapilli and then by the powerful pyroclastic flow, which solidified the volcanic material deposited on the city, imprisoning for 2,000 years, houses, temples, stores and its own inhabitants.
Only by chance was the city of Pompeii rediscovered back in 1748.
During the excavation of wells in nearby Herculaneum, by chance, marble fragments and statues were found. From that moment excavation work began, involving first Herculaneum and then nearby Pompeii.
Since then it has been a succession of discoveries, which continue to this day and attract millions of tourists every year, curious to learn about and discover this immense heritage.
The huge influx of visitors at certain times of the year causes endless queues at the ticket offices of the excavations to purchase entrance tickets. So if you are short of time or have small children, disabled or elderly people with you, read this guide carefully!

Buying entrance tickets to the Pompeii excavations
Entrance tickets to the Pompeii excavations can be purchased either at the ticket offices at the entrance to Porta Marina, Piazza Anfiteatro and Piazza Esedra, or online through the only retailer authorised by the archaeological park, Ticket one 👉 https://www.ticketone.it/artist/scavi-pompei/
🔴 The upper Porta Marina entrance is located on Via Villa dei Misteri, opposite the Villa dei Misteri circumvesuviana station. And it is particularly convenient for those who decide to reach Pompeii by circumvesuviana train.
🔴 The entrance to Piazza Anfiteatro is in Piazza immacolata in Pompeii, near the centre. Exactly 1.4 km from the Villa dei Misteri circumvesuviana station and 1 km from the Pompei Santuario circumvesuviana station. You can reach the entrance of Piazza Anfiteatro either by train of the circumvesuviana, or by car by stopping at the paid municipal car parks near the entrance.
🔴 The entrance to Piazza Esedra, located in Piazza Porta Marina Inferiore, is the main entrance to the excavations of Pompeii. You can get to Piazza Esedra either by train, car or bus, following the directions on my Post on how to get to Pompeii 👉 https://visitnaplesandamalficoasttraveltips.blogspot.com/2025/01/how-to-get-to-pompeii.html
For your visit to Pompeii, I recommend that you buy your entrance tickets online from the only retailer authorised by the Archaeological Park 👉 https://pompeiisites.org/en/buy-tickets/
Buying online is a convenient, safe method that saves you precious time, since, especially during peak periods, there are endless queues at the ticket offices and you can lose up to an hour before buying your entrance tickets to the Pompeii excavations.
Not to mention that in summer, when temperatures reach 35-40°, you will find yourself queuing under the scorching sun.
This is why I recommend that you buy your entrance tickets to the excavations of Pompeii skip the line online. 👉 https://pompeiisites.org/en/buy-tickets/
Tickets for the excavations of Pompeii purchased online must be presented at the entrance either by means of the QR code generated directly on your smartphone or tablet, or they can be printed out in hard copy from home.
N.B. It is essential to keep the ticket until the exit to register it at the turnstile.
