Pompeii Tickets: Compare Entry Tickets, Guided Tours and Day Trips
Planning a visit to Pompeii? The right ticket depends on how much of the archaeological area you want to see, how much time you have and whether you prefer to explore independently or with a guide. Below you can compare Pompeii tickets, guided tours, audio guides and day trips before choosing the option that best suits your visit.
Pompeii tickets and official admission prices
The Archaeological Park of Pompeii currently offers three main admission options: Pompeii Express (€20) for the ancient city, Pompeii Plus (€25) for the ancient city together with the Villa of the Mysteries and other suburban sites, and a 3-day multi-site ticket (€30) for visitors who also want to explore other sites in the Greater Pompeii network.
Official tickets are sold through Vivaticket. Reduced or free admission may apply to eligible visitors, and prices or access conditions can change.
Entry tickets, guided tours and day trips
If you prefer to explore the ruins independently, a Pompeii ticket with audio guide can provide additional historical context while allowing you to follow your own itinerary.
For a first visit, a Pompeii guided tour with skip-the-line admission is a useful option if you want a structured introduction to the ancient city.
Visitors with more time can combine the site with a Pompeii and Herculaneum guided tour or visit Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius from Naples.
If you are staying in the capital, you can also compare an organised Pompeii day trip from Rome.
Official admission tickets and commercial experiences are different products: tours and booking platforms may include guides, audio guides, transport or other services in addition to admission.
