🔥 THE ULTIMATE INSIDER GUIDE TO POMPEII

Visiting Pompeii is a bucket-list dream, but let’s be honest: it’s huge, it’s hot, and it can be overwhelming. Do you want to just "see" the ruins, or do you want to truly feel the history?

We want your trip to be unforgettable. Here is our MASTER LIST of tips and must-see spots to survive and thrive in the ancient city:

1. TIMING IS EVERYTHING ⏰

 

❌ Don't arrive at 11:00 AM with the tour bus crowds.

 

✅Do arrive right at opening (9:00 AM) or after 3:00 PM. The golden hour light is magical for photos, and the silence is powerful.

 

2. DRESS CODE: COBBLESTONES 👟 Leave the cute sandals and heels in Positano. Seriously. The Roman roads have deep ruts. Wear your most comfortable sneakers/trainers. Your ankles will thank you later!

3. THE "FREE WATER" HACK 💧 You don’t need to carry 5 liters of water! Pompeii has ancient public fountains with fresh, cold drinkable water. Bring a refillable bottle and drink from history.

 

🏛️ THE "MUST-SEE" HOUSES (DOMUS) 🏛️ Don't wander aimlessly! Make sure you find these masterpieces:

 

🏠 House of the Faun (Casa del Fauno): This isn't just a house; it’s a palace! It covers an entire city block (3000 sqm!). Look for the famous "Dancing Faun" statue in the center. It’s the ultimate symbol of Roman wealth.

 

🎨 House of the Vettii: Recently reopened and absolutely stunning. Owned by two former slaves who became rich merchants, it has some of the most vibrant, well-preserved frescoes in the entire park. The colors will leave you speechless.

 

📜 House of Menander: A huge, high-status home belonging to a relative of the Empress of Nero. It gives you a perfect idea of how the elite lived.

 

4. DON'T MISS "VILLA DEI MISTERI" 🎭 Most people skip this because it's a walk towards the exit. Huge mistake! It houses the best-preserved frescoes in the world. The "Pompeian Red" walls are iconic. It’s worth every extra step.

5. THE LUPANARE (ADULT ONLY?) 🙈 The ancient brothel is tiny but fascinating. Look above the doors for the "menu" of services painted on the walls. Go there first thing in the morning to avoid the long lines!

6. LOOK DOWN 👇 See those small white stones between the paving blocks? That was ancient "street lighting"—they reflected moonlight so Romans could see where they were walking at night! Genius, right?

7. BEWARE OF THE DOG 🐶 Look for the "Cave Canem" mosaic at the House of the Tragic Poet. It’s the ancient ancestor of the "Beware of the Dog" sign. A must-snap photo! 📸

8. PINK FLOYD FANS? 🎸 Visit the Amphitheater. It’s the oldest distinct Roman amphitheater in existence, but also where Pink Floyd recorded their legendary "Live at Pompeii" in 1972. You can feel the vibes!

9. NO LUGGAGE ALLOWED 🎒 Don't bring big backpacks or suitcases (larger than 30x30x15 cm). You won't get past security. Pack light!
