Pompeii Archaeological Park, Pompeii

This was a wonderful experience. We went here for a day trip and we weren’t disappointed as this place is genuinely one of the most interesting places I’ve ever visited. Firstly, this place is absolutely enormous and is well preserved. There’s plenty to see, from the forum to the theatre. I’d recommend spending a whole day here, and getting an audio guide which will allow you to take things at your own pace. There is also a lovely cafe here which does a really nice sandwich. If you’re looking for a truly unique day out, then I’d absolutely recommend this unique place.

Stunning location, make sure to take at least half a day to explore. You can follow the map but without guide you might not get a lot of history out of it. The buildings are very well preserved and this is a beautiful location. There is only one place to buy food and drinks and very overpriced - would recommend to bring your own if you don't want to queue and overpay. Tickets for entrance are 16 euro and a tour guide is €20 (small group official guide from tourist office). The train there should be around 3-4 euros. Don't overpay doing a tour, there might be some queue in high season but the skip the lines is a scam, you can just buy the ticket online and get there via public transport cheap and easy. When you enter make sure to first go to the left (thermal baths) before going up as many "famous" drawings are here. If it's hot, be aware there is not a tremendous amount of shade available.
