Pompei is an unbelievable place - a must to visit. We went by train and the pick up for our tickets and audio guide was right above the station at Pompei and very quick. Be aware youāll need to leave either a form of id or credit card to act as deposit for the audio equipment - a little unnerving but this is also the system at the main ticketing office at the site anyway. Make sure you wear good walking shoes or boots, the cobbled roads are nothing like youād imagine. We allowed 4 hours from train time to train time perhaps 5 hours is needed for a thorough visit. A big site, loads of visitors and little shade and facilities so take food and drink with you. They gave us a good map and audio guide (basically a phone) which shows you where you are, so easy to navigate the large site.
