Description
The Pompeii day trip from Rome by high-speed train begins at Termini Station, where a group leader meets you and gets you on board. The ride to Naples takes about an hour, after which a private air-conditioned coach covers the short stretch to the site. Compared with a coach from Rome, the train makes for a quicker start to a day that lasts around nine hours.
At the gate your skip-the-line ticket for the Archaeological Park of Pompeii lets you walk in without queuing. Then you are on your own for about five hours. Inside, the visit is self-guided, so you decide where to go: along the old paved streets, past bakeries, shops and houses, or to the plaster casts of the people caught by Vesuvius. Some visitors spend the whole time in the ruins, others stop for a long lunch or look around the local shops before the meeting time.
