Overview

Nestled under the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii Archaeological Park is one of the world's most extraordinary and poignant historical sites. Once a thriving Roman city, Pompeii was buried under volcanic ash and pumice during the catastrophic eruption of AD 79, which remarkably preserved its buildings, streets, and artifacts.

Explore the suburban villas with this ticket:
The highlight is the Villa of the Mysteries, known for its intricate frescoes depicting enigmatic Dionysian rituals, and the Villa of Diomedes, a grand residence famed for its luxurious gardens and panoramic views over the Naples Bay.

Nearby, the Villa Regina in Boscoreale provides a unique perspective on rural life with its preserved vineyard and agricultural artifacts. Adjacent to it, the Antiquarium of Boscoreale showcases everyday tools and objects, deepening the understanding of Pompeii's agrarian lifestyle.

NOTE: the entrance is FREE for minors (<18 years old ), a free voucher can be obtained once inside
