2025 Pompei Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

🇮🇹 The city left over from the great ancient Roman Empire 📍Pompeii ⭐️Top stream in European archaeology ⭐️One of the world's top ten rare treasures from ancient tombs ⭐️One of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy ⭐️Rated as a world cultural and natural heritage "Nothing in this world lasts forever" This is an inscription on a mural in Pompeii. But in the end, he gave his all to verify this statement. 🌋【Historical Background】 In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius, which had been dormant for 1,500 years, suddenly erupted. Volcanic ash about 5.6 meters thick completely buried this prosperous and luxurious city located in the Bay of Naples. People began to flee like the end of the world, but in the end no one in the city was spared. In despair, people were wrapped in volcanic ash, frozen in their final poses... It was not until 1594 that locals discovered a stone tablet with the word "Pompeii" engraved on it while building a canal, and this legendary city slowly emerged. In 1748, the king ordered the excavation of the ancient city of Pompeii. Finally, the giant of ancient Rome awakened, and Pompeii was once again presented to the world. ———————— When the air of ancient Rome becomes thin in the long river of history, The ancient city of Pompeii, which has been sleeping for more than 2,000 years, still looks the same as it did originally. Perhaps, simply using the word "shocking" to describe Pompeii is too one-sided. However, I did some research and watched the documentary and the movie "The Last Days of Pompeii" before leaving. But when I really stood among these dusty monuments, stepped on the deep and shallow marks left by the carriages, touched the graffiti on both sides of the street, looked at the price list in the tavern, next to which were the wine money owed by the guests, the bakery storing burnt and burnt bread, and walked into the arena that could accommodate 20,000 people and the theater that could accommodate 5,000 spectators, I was imagining that this place was always crowded with people, reveling in glory! Everything is so clear and profound. After walking around the ancient city for 3 hours, I may not even remember the name of every building, but through these stones, I can feel the footsteps of time and hear the whispers of history. Travel through the beauty of thousands of years, pick up the story of ancient Rome and reunite with the past and present of the ancient city of Pompeii. This is the cycle of destruction and rebirth! History becomes accessible through archaeology! It contains true knowledge and is a mirror. Learn from yesterday, know today, and change tomorrow. After more than a hundred years and the joint efforts of several generations of archaeologists, the ancient city of Pompeii has gradually lifted its mysterious veil, protected the entire ancient city, and fully displayed the true appearance of the Roman Empire city in the 1st century AD. Provide people with more opportunities to understand Pompeii! Come to Pompeii! Life is like a dream! 🌈【Strategy Information】 🚅Transportation: 1️⃣Depart from Naples Central Station Take the Circumvesuviana train To Pompeiscavi Station The ticket price is 3.3 Euros and the journey takes about 45 minutes 2️⃣Take the Italian National Railway Trenitalia ‼ ️ (The Circumvesuviana train I took was very convenient. It went around the sea and you could see Mount Vesuvius when you looked up. The disadvantage was that the carriages were relatively old and there were many stops. The advantage was that there were many trains.) 🎫Ticket price: 19 Euros, guide 8 Euros ‼ ️ (The ticket office next to the platform is unofficial. You need to walk 200 meters to the entrance of the scenic spot to buy tickets. You need to press your ID to rent an interpreter. There are Chinese versions and you can plug in old-fashioned jack headphones. Get a free map in the service room.) ⏰Recommended playing time: 2-5 hours ✅You can bring some dry food and water with you. I went there in January and didn’t see any place selling food and water. ✅There is no shade at all open-air attractions, so please pay attention to sun protection and prepare sunglasses and parasols in summer.

#timetotravel My journey through Pompeii Archaeological Park was an immersive step into the past. Located near Naples, this ancient city buried by Mount Vesuvius' eruption was a captivating window into daily life in Roman times. As I wandered the cobbled streets, the remarkably preserved houses, temples, and amphitheater evoked a sense of awe and melancholy. The casts of human figures frozen in time were haunting yet poignant. The park's expansive layout and its accessible visiting hours allowed me to explore its wonders at my own pace. Pompeii Archaeological Park wasn't just a ruin; it was a living history lesson that transported me to a world long gone, while reminding me of the impermanence of life.

Pompeii was a luxurious Roman resort city 2,000 years ago. It was a wealthy and luxurious city with many facilities such as theaters, baths, shops, a water pipe system, and even a giant amphitheater for sports competitions. However, the city collapsed when Mount Vesus erupted, killing almost all the people in the city. Most of the people who died were those who thought it was safe to hide in their homes, until the lava was several meters thick and the houses collapsed. The prosperity of Pompeii can still be seen from the houses and mansions, some of which are still in good condition, with paintings along the walls. Some houses even have fountains in the middle of the houses. Currently, Pompeii has been excavated and well-preserved. Many tourists visit each year.

Pompeii is an ancient roman city, which in 79 A.C. was buried by the lava erupted from the Vesuvius Volcano. I think Pompeii is a must see site when in Naples. it’s really suggestive how well preserved it is. once inside the side you can really feel the life that was once there. Getting There - it’s quite easy from Naples. just get the Circumvesuviana train line to Pompei, it’s 5-10 minutes walk to the entrance. from Naples you can find as well many buses or organized tours. Attractions - the whole archeological site. Hotels - I suggest to spend the night in Naples and just visit Pompei as daily trip. Food & Restaurants - many restaurants close by. you could as well prepare something to bring inside the park. you can find some picnic areas where you can peacefully eat and enjoy your time in the park. In Campania region I always suggest PIZZAAA🍕 or seafood. they also have many good fried stuff and desserts. try limoncello too 🍋 the most famous ones are from Capri island. #fallingforfall #tripblazers #spooktaculartrip ##本地遊 #urbanexplorer

At that time, we packed our bags to travel to Pompeii. We followed the movie we liked. The movie was called “Pompeii”. It was about a volcanic eruption and lava flowing over the city, causing the entire city to be buried under ash and volcanic rocks. - Pompeii is located in Campania, Italy. Pompeii was buried under volcanic rocks on August 23, 79 AD due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. - Pompeii is an ancient Roman city that was founded around 700 BC. In the past, this city was a resort for Romans because it was located by the sea. - After the volcanic eruption, about 1,500 years later, the city was discovered while digging an underground tunnel and human remains were discovered. And the expedition team drilled holes and poured plaster into the holes. When the plaster was dry, it became the shape of a person who died in the volcanic eruption in various poses, just like the picture we took. - Later, this place became a tourist attraction that tells the story of the sad tragedy of the loss of humanity in the volcanic collapse itself. #EuropeTour

The city of Pompeii is famous because it was destroyed in 79 CE when a nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted, covering it in at least 19 feet (6 metres) of ash and other volcanic debris. The city's quick burial preserved it for centuries before its ruins were discovered in the late 16th century.

Pompei is a famous ancient city that was destroyed by the mighty volcano Vesuvius years ago. It is now a tourism destination for many wanting to learn about the history of this great city and one of the worst disasters in human recorded history. It is very close to the big city of Naples, and being in the Campania region, the city is surrounded by nature consisting of mountains, greenery, and plenty of animal life. There are plenty of places to eat here including a cafeteria where you can get some of the typical Italian foods one may like or even international snacks. However, be warned because it is a bit more expensive to buy food here instead of eating before coming. Pompei can be reached by bus only about an hour away, or by car taxi and many tourist groups can be seen here in the summer. The city is wide and vast so be sure to wear walking shoes for the cobblestones. View in awe the many houses, gardens, and places people lived. There are museums and a gift shop one can visit for souvenirs too. I especially enjoy the views of the villas people of wealth used to live in with the open roofs and big garden areas. Overall. I would say that this is worth a visit if you happen to be in the Campania region or visiting the city of Naples. DON’T MISS OUT!! It’s worth a visit. #campania #italy #🇮🇹 #travel #vacation #history #🇺🇸 #pompeii

If you are going there I wish you a good stay :). #naturalwonders #fyp #italybeauties #pompeii

I visited Pompeii, which was ruined by a volcanic eruption. As expected, I applied for the Southern Italy tour and had a great time with the cheerful guide. The second photo is ㅋㅋ It's an old phrase that says to be careful. Also, you can see the remains of people who died instantly from the volcanic ash. Pompeii was also a very messy city, so they say they marked important parts on the street floor like this to indicate the locations of nightclubs. #Pompeii #SouthernItaly

It flourished as a city in the Roman Empire, but was buried under volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The entire Pompeii area is a World Heritage Site. The ruins are well preserved, so it's easy to imagine what life was like back then. You can't enter without a guide, so you need to arrange one in advance. Address: Pompeii #World Heritage Site

The world famous Pompeii - the ancient Roman city in southern Italy that was destroyed by a volcano Vesuvius. The Mount Vesuvius, is still active, so the people living in the modern town still live with the risk of another eruption. Pompeii is located in 150 miles south of Rome, fairly close to Naples. The archaeological site of Pompeii is vast. If you have a real interest in the area, you will need all day, most leisure tourists may spend 2-3 hours at most. There are three main entrance gates, but main one is Piazza Anfitheatro. If you are interested in what you are seeing, it is better to hire guides (there are a lot in an entrance), or audio tours. Otherwise, you can just follow the map which can be obtained in ticket offices. Opening times: Pompeii is open Monday to Sunday, 9am to 5pm, with the last entry at 3.30pm #pompeii #italy #history

Pompeii was an ancient city located in what is now the comune of Pompei near Naples in the Campania region of Italy. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area (e.g. at Boscoreale, Stabiae), was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Largely preserved under the ash, the excavated city offered a unique snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment it was buried,and an extraordinarily detailed insight into the everyday life of its inhabitants, although much of the evidence was lost in the early excavations. It was a wealthy town, enjoying many fine public buildings and luxurious private houses with lavish decorations, furnishings and works of art which were the main attractions for the early excavators. Organic remains, including wooden objects and human bodies, were entombed in the ash. Over time, they decayed, leaving voids which archaeologists found could be used as moulds to make plaster casts of unique — and often gruesome — figures in their final moments of life. The numerous graffiti carved on the walls and inside rooms provide a wealth of examples of the largely lost Vulgar Latin spoken colloquially at the time, contrasting with the formal language of the classical writers. Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors annually. After many excavations prior to 1960 that had uncovered most of the city but left it in decay,further major excavations were banned and instead they were limited to targeted, prioritised areas. In 2018, these led to new discoveries in some previously unexplored areas of the city. #mynovgetaway #thanksgiving #mynovgetaway#thanksgiving

Our honeymoon along the Amalfi Coast was one of the most unforgettable experiences we’ve ever had. We arrived in Rome and took a train to Naples before meeting our driver at the station. From there he drove us to Amalfi where we met the owner of the apartment we rented. Then we took an exhilarating and lovely boat ride to our holiday apartment at Conca Dei Marini, a small town nestled in the along cliffs of the Emerald Grotto. We wanted to stay away from the crowded provinces so Conca Dei Marini, with its lovely quiet beach was perfect! There were a few quaint restaurants along the beach serving fresh seafood and pasta so it was not hard for us, food wise even though we were a boat ride away from all the action. It was a little piece of heaven and our apartment overlooked the beach and the sea which was so amazing. This beautiful paradise was our base while we explored the coast and it was convenient to get a boat from Conca to Amalfi, where you can get ferry tickets to other popular spots like Positano and Sorrento. The Italian summer is blazing hot so wear light clothing and comfortable shoes because these cobblestoned hilly paths and steps can be quite a challenge to city folks like us. Maybe this is also why the Italian senior citizens we saw looked so fit and healthy! It was really good exercise especially after consuming all the delicious pasta and pizzas. We did however hire a private driver for a day trip to Pompeii as we know that it would be a physically draining day. It cost us a pretty penny but it was worth it as we could get a lovely glimpse of the other coastal towns on our drive back to our apartment. We ate so much during our stay because everything was so fresh and delicious. The anchovies we had were one of the highlights of our culinary experience, as well as the pizza at Naples, of course. It can really get crowded with tourists so it was good that we get to return to the peace and quiet of our little apartment after a day out. #europetrip #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #seascapes

The square in the center of Pompeii felt like time had stopped. It was a mysterious atmosphere, perhaps because it was a space where people gathered and interacted during the ancient Roman era. #Pompeii Square #Italian Historic Site #Ancient Civilization #Historical Travel #Italy Travel Record #Travel Instagram #In Pompeii #Ancient Architecture #Travel Moment #Italy Exploration #World Cultural Heritage #European Travel #Italian History Exploration #Roman Era #Ancient Ruins #January Travel Grant Event

By the year 79 AD, it had become a paradise for the rich, and nobles and wealthy merchants flocked here to build luxurious villas and indulge in pleasure. The population of Pompeii exceeded 25,000, becoming a famous city of wine and pleasure. 🌟🌟🌟 The disappearance of the ancient city of Pompeii: Mount Vesuvius is 1277 meters above sea level and is a typical active volcano. It has been erupting for thousands of years, and Pompeii was built on the hardened lava foundation from an ancient eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The people at that time fully believed it was an active volcano and were completely indifferent to this 'dead volcano'. However, they never expected that this 'dead volcano' was brewing a catastrophic disaster. A strong earthquake in 62 AD struck the region, causing many buildings to collapse. In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted suddenly, and about 5.6 meters of volcanic ash mercilessly wiped Pompeii off the Earth.

Pompeii is a microcosm of Rome's past glory, built in the 70s BC, with a very important geographical location, north of Mount Vesuvius, west of the Bay of Naples, the Salerno River around the city, connecting the Roman Empire with trade around the world. Due to the volcanic eruption, it disappeared overnight, buried under volcanic ash for several centuries, until the 18th century to see the light of day, is still under excavation.
