Choose a visit that fits your time, your group and what you want to see. Start with a route you can enjoy, not a checklist you have to finish.
Still choosing which site to visit?
Compare Pompeii, Herculaneum and Oplontis by what you want to see, time inside the ruins, walking needs and travelling with children. Our one- and two-day suggestions are editorial plans, not confirmed transport or opening arrangements.

Before setting off
Routes are not live availability checks. Confirm the Park’s current hours and building openings. For a buggy or limited mobility, start with the accessibility information rather than assuming these routes are step-free. Check ticket inclusions, especially for the Villa.
