Questions
Quick answers
How do I get to Pompeii from Naples?
Take the Circumvesuviana train on the Naples–Sorrento line and get off at Pompei Villa dei Misteri, for the Porta Marina entrance. Tickets carry your name, the day and an entry time slot, so buy them online in advance.
Do I need to book the Cappella Sansevero?
Yes. Booking is required; online tickets go on sale 60 days ahead, and a further batch is released two days before each date.
Which days are the sights closed?
The Archaeological Museum and the Cappella Sansevero are closed on Tuesdays and the Certosa di San Martino on Wednesdays, so avoid starting this plan on a Monday or a Tuesday.
The days these rules belong to
3 days in Naples
Naples' sights fall into three clear areas, so each day keeps to one: day one starts at the National Archaeological Museum and walks the ancient grid of the historic centre, from the Veiled Christ to the cathedral and the tunnels beneath the streets; day two takes the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii and returns for sunset by the sea; day three rides a funicular up to the Certosa di San Martino and walks down through the Quartieri Spagnoli to the royal squares. Book the Cappella Sansevero and Pompeii before you go.
