The place is huge. You can find free audio guides online, so bring your phone and save the money instead d buying the audio guide there. It gets super warm so bring water. The cafeteria is not great.

You need a map (which is not always accurate), good walking shoes and plenty of water. The site is massive and there is so much to see. You can easily explore without audio and tour guides. Have fun!

This site is a definite visit for those visiting Naples/Napoli. There is so much history to see + learn and you're literally walking on it! Mt. Vesuvius appears in the near distance, so snap a pic.

Incredible. I had low expectations but ended up being one of my favorite parts of Italy. An amazing archeological experience but be prepared to walk a lot in crowds!

There is a snack building on the grounds but expensive. A great photo spot for Vesuvio is next to the amphitheatre. Check which buildings you want to see beforehand, it's quite easy to overlook them.

Go late on in the afternoon midweek & enter from the amphitheatre side closest to the city. This way you skip the crowds and queuing. 2/3 hours is enough & a good guide would make a huge difference
