We only had approximately 2-3 hours to explore this wonderful, you need nearly 5 hours to see everything,
Unbelievable! To explore this place is such an honor. This society was very organized and advanced. The surviving floors, walls, tubs, murals, walkways, columns etc. are staggering to see and experience.
Most horrifying to see the few people exhibited (including a mother and father with 2 little children) and a dog in petrified state at the moment of their deaths! One can only imagine....
Getting to the site isn't as easy as you may think, especially if the main train line is closed, as it was when we visited. The main Trenitalia station is around 30/40 minutes walk to Pompeii site. The Naples Metro station is entirely separate, and only 5/10 minutes away. But be aware Metro trains are overcrowded and dirty, and only 2/3 per hour run to and from Naples. Getting tickets can be a nightmare. You can't get Metro tickets from a Trenitalia machine, you have to get them from one of 3/4 machines near the entrance to the Metro. These are slow, and there are long queues, as you are also caught up with people wanting tickets for Pompeii site. I believe there is a Metro app you can use. Perhaps that is the answer. Coming back is equally chaotic, only 2 tickets machines at Pompeii for the Metro, crammed into a foyer packed with people.
The site itself is quite vast, and will take 4 hours at least to do it any justice. There are 2 villas on site to see if you have a Pompeii plus ticket. We thought these were a separate bus ride away, that is not the case. Be aware there are no real places to sit down, which means it is hard work being on your feet for 4/5 hours in blazing heat. The site can also be confusing as there isn't a suggested route. Best pick up a map and plan your own route. Exhausting but worth it .
My wife and I did an optional two-hour visit to Pompeii as part of our private transfer from the train station in Naples to our hotel in Sorrento. It was a stunning, emotional place, especially the stone casts of some of Vesuvius' victims.
But as meaningful as our visit was, it would have been much better had we opted for a guided tour rather than trying to negotiate the vast grounds on our own. The map that is provided is hard to read and with only two hours, we certainly missed many interesting highlights.
