Pompeii is a complete ancient Roman city covering a very large archaeological area. During your visit you can explore: - ancient streets; - Roman houses; - villas; - shops and workshops; - temples; - public baths; - theatres; - fountains; - frescoes and mosaics; - public buildings. One of the most impressive aspects of Pompeii is the opportunity to walk through the original streets and see how an ancient Roman city was organized almost 2,000 years ago. Individual buildings can occasionally close for restoration or archaeological work, so the exact areas accessible on the day may vary. ## Visit Pompeii at your own pace This is **not a live guided tour**. Instead, you explore Pompeii independently with the included audio guide. This option can be particularly suitable if you prefer: - to choose your own route; - to stop longer at the monuments that interest you; - to listen to explanations through the audio guide; - to explore without following a tour group. If you prefer a live archaeologist or professional guide, choose a different Pompeii guided-tour product. ## How much time should you allow inside Pompeii? Pompeii is extensive and cannot be seen completely in a short visit. For a first visit, focus on a selection of the main monuments rather than trying to cover the entire archaeological city. Useful areas may include: - the Forum; - the theatres; - Roman baths; - selected houses and villas; - temples; - streets and commercial buildings. Always keep track of the return time indicated by the transport provider. ## What should you wear? Pompeii involves considerable walking on ancient Roman streets. Wear: - comfortable closed walking shoes; - lightweight clothing during summer; - hat and sunscreen; - weather protection when necessary. The original Roman paving stones are uneven, so shoes with good grip are strongly recommended. ## Bring water Food and drinks are not included. Bring sufficient drinking water, particularly during summer. Pompeii can become very hot and much of the archaeological area is exposed to direct sunlight. A small snack may also be useful during this full-day excursion. ## Is there a live guide? No. The current product specifically includes an **audio guide**, not a live guided tour. The audio guide allows you to explore independently while receiving information about Pompeii and its monuments. ## Is transportation in Pompeii included? Yes. The experience currently includes a transfer from the **Pompeii bus station to the archaeological area**. Touristation staff meet passengers at the bus stop and assist with the transfer and entrance procedure. ## Is Wi-Fi available? Yes. The coach currently offers **free Wi-Fi** during the journey. This can be useful during the long trip between Rome and Pompeii. ## Pompeii Express or Pompeii Plus? Pompeii offers different types of entrance ticket.
