Museums in Naples

An amazing experience. Rich in history and content from the get-go. The ruins are so well preserved and access is very open allowing such a great insight into life back in Pompeii 2000 years ago. At times you can almost imagine youself walking through the town in its prime. I recommend giving at least 2 hours to walk around the ruins, and at least 4 for those who enjoy learning about hsptry and taking in the detail. Parking was easy, plenty of food / service areas and despite the large crowd, we rarely felt held up by the amount of people, due to the amount of content and size of the town. I will return.

A dream come true in Pompeii The visit to Pompeii was a profoundly moving experience that turned a simple trip into a journey through time. Everything was flawlessly organized, from purchasing the tickets to entering the site – a simple, quick, and hassle-free process that allowed me to enjoy every single moment. I was overwhelmed with emotion as I walked along the cobbled streets of a city frozen in time almost two millennia ago. Every corner, every wall, every fresco told a story – a story of daily life, of joys and tragedies in a world long gone, yet still alive through its silent testimony. It was as if history itself came alive before my eyes. The organization of the visit was remarkable. The atmosphere, combined with the feeling of directly witnessing fragments of life from an ancient civilization, made me reflect deeply on the fragility and, at the same time, the strength of the human spirit. I loved that I could explore at my own pace, with the freedom to pause and contemplate every detail. This visit was not just a tourist trip, but a lesson in history, humanity, and introspection. I left Pompeii with a full heart, immense gratitude for the opportunity to be there, and the desire to return. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who wishes not only to see a place but to live a story.

Easy booking and entry without any issues. Really helpful for accessing the site. Especially with the skip the line entry. Would use again for other places.

Having booked online in Australia weeks prior took the stress out of trying to buy tickets in a foreign country when you don't speak the language and avoiding all queues. We could then enjoy the experience of being in one of history's greatest sites.

One amaizing day! Startimg 10:00 AM finish at 17:00 PM. For the ones that want to see full Pompei, don't book also Vesuviu in the same day.

I was genuinely shocked by how many artifacts from Pompei made it through. The museum has an EXPANSIVE collection. If you're someone that likes to read the signs and get as much as you can out of your visit, I'd say to allot 5 hours, at least. I focused on the artifacts relating to Vesuvius, and then glossed over the other parts of the museum, and it still took a sold 5 hours. Take aways that were different than I had expected- there are no casts of the victims at this museum (and if there are, I somehow missed them, and I would be so bummed!) But what I got was a comprehensive overview of what life may have been like there. Any disappointment to not have seen the figures (victims) I'd initially anticipated seeing was replaced by an appreciation for how much more I know now about the life and culture of the cities affected by Mt. Vesuvius. When I go to Pompei tomorrow, I know that everything I saw today will make the ruins "come to life" and be a much more textural experience, rather than just seeing ruins and trying to take a guess at what life may have looked and felt like. Aside from the impressive collection, the museum itself is a gorgeous building to be in- I didn't have a map, but it's sort of shaped like capital "I" and the halls that adjoin the wings on both ends are just stunning. There is a cafe, a lounge, and plenty of other opportunities for giving your feet, back, or brain a rest- including two gardens. I highly recommend this museum. The staff were all incredibly pleasant and helpful. (Tip: The bathrooms are on the bottom floor)
