The Santuario of the Madonna di Pompei in Naples, Italy, is a truly memorable experience. The expansive parking area made it convenient for me to explore the sanctuary without hassle. The Gothic structure is beautiful, and as you enter the Church, you’re surrounded by a serene and spiritual atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see numerous devotees praying the rosary with utmost devotion to the famous iconic miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Their peaceful presence added to the overall religious ambiance of the place. One of the fascinating aspects of the Santuario of the Madonna di Pompei is the numerous miracles attributed to the Madonna. It was awe-inspiring to see the stories and testimonials of people who claimed to have experienced divine intervention and witnessed miracles in their lives. These miraculous accounts added a sense of wonder and deepened my appreciation for the spiritual significance of this place. I would highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone seeking a spiritual retreat or a place for quiet contemplation. Not far from the sanctuary are beautiful boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

Extraordinary. Fantastic. Wonderful. I don't think I can define what I saw, what I felt here.

Stopped in Pompei en route to The Amalfi Coast. So glad we did as we enjoyed ice cream in the square and took in the spectacular views of Mount Vesuvius as well as taking in the atmosphere around the Church. Fantastic experience!!

One of Beautiful church in Italy . If you plan to visit pompeii ad this church to your travel list

The most important rosary sanctuary in the world. Magnificent inside and outside. Don't forget to visit padre Dolindo Ruotolo grave in Napoli. He's the author of "Jesus, you take over" words. Suprisingly, he's not that known by Napolitani.

Very beautiful church specially inside. Many people come to pray. Also tourists too.

An absolutely stunning church and a jewel of modern Pompei! A must visit while in the city if only visiting for the ancient ruins! Do. It skip this area of the city, plenty to do in the area as well! But the architecture in this church is beautiful and highly recommended to visit!

After Florence, Venice, Naples and some others, I was churched out. Wow was this refreshing. The marble, the paintings even the organ inside the large dome. One of the most beautiful churches I've ever been too. Tower is closed from 1300 to 1530. The crypt also closes at 1200.

An absolutely beautiful Basilica in the heart of Pompeii. Definitely worth visiting in you’re in the area.

A beautiful and peaceful church in Pompei. It contains some very nice artwork. Towards the front on the left-hand side is a door that leads to a building that has a museum to Bartolo Longo, a shop and a donation area. There is, also, a bell tower that has wonderful views. You can go up via the lift or the stairs.

Historic Pompei , such a beautiful church an public area outside .. we even made it in time for mass🙏👌.... then outside for a delicuos #sfogliatella an espresso

Incredible House of worship. Miracles of regular people are posted on the walls throughout it is an amazing sight. Stunning architecture and incredible artwork within on the ceilings etc. historically significant.

Beautiful cathedral in a really picturesque and welcoming square. One of my favorite spots in all of Pompeii. The church looks especially beautiful in the dusk. I recommend coming by after dinner and strolling through the park. There is some wonderful gelato just across the street as well.

Amazing experience, it's easy to imagine what life was like in this setting. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD it covered the village in 19 feet of ash. The bodies they were able to recover are coated with hardened ash, it was mostly the slaves that were told to stay and look after the treasures when the eruption began. It was very busy but easy to find space in the 170 acres it's spread across. Cost €22 each to enter, definitely worth a visit.

Definitely a must visit for all tourists near the city! One for the bucket list for sure! Best to go with a tour guide as we did as that helped with queues etc and there’s too much history to learn and understand without one.

Not as big as Foro Romano, but has it's charms, and gives you the goosebumps when you see all the dead ancient bodies in the ceramic collection, and the Vesuvius being there silent.

This place is to go once, see and that's all. You have to be careful not to be scammed for a ticket, especially if you are a group. Specifically, they cheated us for 3 tickets, we bought 43 and while we were entering they inserted three people on our tickets, and if we had proof we had to buy those three more tickets. Mostly people are looking to deceive you at every step. Otherwise, the tickets are too expensive, 16 euros for those over 25 years old, in my opinion that's a lot for what there is to see. Been once and probably never again.

Hard to imagine what’s going on 2000 years ago, and what happen to those people. This is one of the most mystic and famous place in the world. Really cool that we can check this out. High recommend to hire a tour guide, and they can tell you the story and what’s important to see.

Tons of history to see here. We did a guided tour that allows you to skip the line. The walk is uneven so wear proper footwear. In the last 10 years they have added a sidewalk for individuals in wheelchairs to visit the main road. The tour we did was approximately 4 hours including commute. We didn’t see a lot of the infamous photos as we hoped. A brochure would’ve been nice to ask about certain topics interested in. I guess there is a museum where a lot of the artifacts are, which unfortunately we did not see in the tour. It’s crowded with tons of group tours and a lot of walking. 1/4 of site remains undiscovered as they are actively working the site

Pompeii is synonymous with disaster. After all, the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 covered them and killed many inhabitants who had nowhere to escape. But it is also a unique opportunity that many things have been preserved. Of course, walking through the ruins is very tiring in the summer, but what you see outweighs it. It is true that a few days later we added a visit to the remains in the Naples Museum and completed this stage.

Be sure to allow more than a few hours. So much to see. We should not have done a day trip here. The app from the park is handy but could use some upgrades. Not many stations for water or a WC.

I highly recommend to visit Pompéi with a guide ! Antonella showed us amazing typical houses, renovated with some original parts of the house. We learned so many things of the lifestyle of people at that time that we couldn’t without Antonella ☺️ To enjoy the place without tourists and fresh air I would recommend to start at 9AM

Interesting history. Too bad most of it has been stripped and moved to Naples. Most of it is bare bones walls of rock and brick. Quite extensive, but there isn't much to see. Far too hot for a summer day.

Amazing experience, it's easy to imagine what life was like in this setting. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD it covered the village in 19 feet of ash. The bodies they were able to recover are coated with hardened ash, it was mostly the slaves that were told to stay and look after the treasures when the eruption began. It was definitely worth a visit over crowded but a memorable one

This is an incredible place. It exceeds any expectations you may have. The level of preservation is astonishing. If you can, make use of a guide. They will tell you so much you wouldn't find out by just wandering around. It's very busy so any trip needs plenty of time and once you're in you need at least two hours. Can't confirm prices as ours was part of an all in excursion.

Impressive ancient city. I come from Türkiye and has seen hundreds of ancient cities, and this is by far the biggest and well preserved thanks to volcano eruption.

A must visit location! Learning about the city, the lifestyles and eventful destruction was fascinating! This has been on my bucket list for quite a while and it did not disappoint. I recommend going with a tour guide...they know so many of the details that you will miss by going alone.

I thought that after visiting Jerash in Jordan nothing will surprise me in terms of Roman cities. I was wrong. This place is much bigger and the roman signs above the shops and on the walls are incredible. You can touch the Roman times!

Very cool to see how people live so long ago. The guide kept the tour fun and interesting. It was super hot, take lots of sun block and a bottle for water. There are water fountains to refill along the tour.

We had a wonderful walking visit of Pompei. It was a very interesting archeological site. You'll see some really wonderful stuff. It's just amazing how people live 2000 years ago with the expectations that they were. Just caveman is far from the truth. They had some wonderful advancements for their times that you wouldn't have expected

Amazing walk back into time. Wonder the roadways of an ancient city. Make sure you have good shoes and bring water. The roads and walkways are a little rough.

This villa was preserved along with Pompeii after Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. In it you can see plaster molds of victims to the volcano, experience what a working villa that made wine. What's most famous is the well preserved frescas that are easily visible and are among the best examples for Roman art. The site is pretty far from the main Pompeii complex however it is worth a visit. You will come upon a gate that looks like an exit, but keep going and you will go through some gardens and then into the villa.

Simply mind blowing, probably the best frescoes from Pompeii are here. There's an infographic which explains every thing in the fresco. Looks like Romans were really fancy and had art in every room. Think about your house and compare it with this, which is at least 2000 years old.

🙂👍 If you're planning a visit to Pompeii, Italy, I highly recommend checking out the museum located on site. 🏛️ The museum features a wide range of artifacts and exhibits that provide a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the ancient city. 🗿📚 One of the highlights for me was seeing the plaster casts of the victims of the volcanic eruption, which are both haunting and incredibly powerful. 👥💔 The exhibits are well-curated and informative, and the audio guides available are helpful for providing additional context and information. 🎧📜 Overall, the museum is an essential part of any visit to Pompeii and I highly recommend taking the time to explore it. 🤩👍

秘儀荘から入り、入り口に向かってポンペイの遺跡を観てまわりました。途中、ドローンを飛ばすアジアの人間がスタッフから注意を受けているのを横目に。まあまあ見応えありました (Translated by Google) I entered from the Villa of the Mysteries and looked around the ruins of Pompeii toward the entrance. On the way, I glanced at an Asian man flying a drone being warned by the staff. It was worth it

Pompeii is an amazing place but you need to take into account two things: 1. There’s almost no shade so if you want to spend the day there go to the gardens with trees or have a good amount on sunscreen if it’s not cloudy or winter. 2. The villas (which are the best) have a schedule so hurry up and visit them first. They close at 6pm. 3. The other places like the small anfiteatre or the big arena are always open as well as the other villas or garden areas. 4. Do not get overwhelmed. I would say 3-4h is a good timing to see everything at a good pace. If you are not interested in seeing everything you can just skip and go to the most interesting areas. 5. Enjoy and have some water with you!

Enjoyable afternoon visit, well preserved and priceless artefacts. Wish could spend more time admiring the artefacts, but crowd control left us with little time to spend. Best way to explore would be to find a lazy afternoon and go solo exploring the ruins and wander around.

When visiting Naples or Ercolano or Pompeji you need to get into this villa. Thousands of years old, survived Vesuvio nearly completely! Very well preserved, impressive wall paintings! You need approx. 5-7 mins from the actual park to get here but it is still within the archeological site!

Absolutely stunning villa ruins! The frescos on the main room are just gorgeous. Hard to believe that they are there on the walls for 2000 years almost. Must to see, so don't be afraid to take that small extra walk from Pompeii (the villa visit included in the ticket)

Huge expansive archeological site to explore. I recommend a guise of some sort to help explain some things that would otherwise be missed. Very interesting experience of life 2,000 years ago.

Part of the Pompeii ruins (scavi), the frescoes are amazing. The preservation is just astonishing. As it is on one of the extremities, you can leave the "park" through here and then it's just a small walk to the train station.

A little outside the city walls of Pompei, but still within the museum/ticketzone. Well worth the long walk, since the wall paintings are just unique!

The Villa dei Misteri in Pompeii is famous for its well-preserved and significant collection of ancient Roman frescoes. These vivid paintings depict scenes related to a mysterious cult, possibly the cult of Dionysus. Buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the villa and its artwork were preserved, providing a unique glimpse into the daily life and religious practices of ancient Romans.

Beautiful well preserved house with some interesting differences from the other homes. While not in the center of Pompeii, it will require some navigation to get to but definitely worth the trek.

Almost hard to believe it has been almost 2000 years since someone lived here. The personal touches of the mosaics in the smaller rooms make the tragedy even more poignant

Me and my friend didn’t know much about how to navigate the space when we speak no Italian. Staff was helpful with the questions we asked but didn’t offer any helpful tips to navigate on iur own. I wish I had researched a bit before I went. Tickets were easy to get. We were offered a guided tour and we decided not to take it. We had barely made half a mile and realized we will need a bit of narration and guide so went back and got ourselves one audio service. I was asked to leave a ID and receive it when we return the audio device back. I didn’t believe it was necessary to do this. I have no use for the device other than the guide for the time I was in Pompeii. Pay attention to the regions in the space. It helps breakdown the massive city. Each region is divided into numbers that you can click and listen to the details about this number. We spend total of about 3 and a half hour and it was sufficient for us to get back to the train. There is more to see but this was sufficient for me and my friend to visit for the afternoon.

Stunning area. It’s a bit of a walk to get there from the entrance of Pompei, but well worth it. There’s a nice little breeze at the top, and the view point is lovely. It has several areas to sit inside in the shade if it gets too hot. Moreover, it’s just fun to walk around at the centre. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Pompei.

Second time visiting and brought my family this time. An incredibly historic location that’s worth exploring and seeing how such a town has been destroyed by May. Vesuvius but lays so clear to see and explore. Highly recommend to anyone that visits Italy and also Naples, as there’s nowhere else on the planet that you can see that.

Amazing ruins as a reward after 3 different sets of stairs from the beach front. For those who love exercise and culrure its highly recommended.

A very well preserved and restored, Greek-style theater. Close to the forum and the entrance of the city. as with most attractions in the city, you can freely move about the stands and the stage. A lot of people choose to take a rest on the ancient seats.

This is one of the first things you see when you walk into Pompeii, and walking up the stairs and taking in the view down and around you is absolutely breathtaking. Be careful on the steps though, they’re a bit uneven.

Source of culture and history. One need to be there to feel what Pompeii really was and what it represents today and tomorrow

This is grand. It will show you a glimpse of the city at its peak.

One of the top places in pompeii, very well conserved, can be seen from the top to the bottom and it has very nice views of the surrounding areas.

Cool place and fascinating piece of history.

Grenada tour and a must place to visit. Take in the sights and read the stories of people who lost their lives in what is one of the one of the worlds most tragic events

Part of the Pompeii area is worth visiting as all of Pompeii.

Another amazing experience, the wife wasn't feeling well so we didn't venture too far!

Awesome experience! I recommend spending several hours or a few visits over the course of a week. There is a good on to see, and worth the trip.

It’s allways a tragedy when volcano erupts. In this case it happend in a way that preserved a whole city which is amazing. There is still 1/3 to be digged from the ashes, so maybe there will be some new discoveries..?🙏😎 Advise: - bring more than 0,5l water/person (in the summer) - for small kids use careier and not the stroler - bring umbrella for sun protection and sun creame - socks and confort shoues is also advised👍

I can understand some of the reviews, people expecting 'more' from Pompeii. It's there, it just all depends on the tour you take. If you've got the time, try another that goes in from another gate. Our guide took us this way, through the Teatro Grande. It's staggering, just unreal how advanced we really were then. Take every tour through Pompeii. See it all.

Great place, lots of history and the stories from the tour guide of people who used to live in this town were amazing. I would recommend going with a tour guide for this as there is information for you to read, however, they have their own twist on it with stories from before the volcano erupted.

Fun and interesting! This unique building, used to hold the ancient old business, was a very fun and interesting place to visit! First, the building was very conveniently located off the main street, so guys would not get lost in hurry. Plus, there were some street signs and "arrow", were using the male body symbol instead of real arrow. Moreover, there were amazingly visible and artistic pictures on the wall to guide you. Those pictures don't look dirty or sexual, but rather informative and educational. It is a miracle just to think about that this brothel was buried for more than 2000 years and you are looking at it now!

Pompeii was such a wonderful historical place to visit. There is so much to see thst you would need a week to do it all

We started our self-guided tour at the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance, which is not the primary entrance, as many of the tourism office will yell at you while you are walking toward it, trying to get you to talk to them. But it is a great entrance with one minor issue, if you get an audio guide you have to make your way back to the entrance to return the audio guide and recover your ID, in our case our passport. But it is fine to start here and view the beautiful forum first and make your way down through the many streets. The audio guide costs 8€ for one or 13€ for two. They consist of an older smartphone sized device which you have to put up to your ear to listen to. If you have headsets with a 9mm jack you can plug in and listen, but they do not have a speakerphone and do not support Bluetooth. If you’re doing a self-guided tour the audio guide is worth it, but they do use up your hands and make it difficult to take photos. We got the Pompei Plus pass which included access to the Villas. We did it feel it was worth the extra money. There are some neat things but there just isn’t enough time to see the ruins and the Villas in one day. Also, the other issue is, if you hit the Villas after 3:30 they close the road back up and you have to exit there and walk all around the site to get back to where you started, basically losing about 1.5 hours as they will not let you back in. This was our biggest issue as we weren’t told about the closing of the entrance to the Villas and the guy at the entrance was very rude. Other than that, the Pompeii site has some amazing sites to see. Highlights of what we saw on our self-guided tour are: Amphitheater, Teatro, Brothels, Temple of Jupiter, climb to the top of the building at the North end of Via di Mercurio. Just do the Express if you only have one day to visit.

It's a very beautiful site, full with history, it's a MUST if you're visiting Naples, but there are some things you need to know before. First of all, there are some places where you can get tickets just in the railway station, but don't! The price is much higher plus the site is 300m far, it's a total scam. The purpose is not to wait on the line once you get to the site, but it doesn't take too much time, max 20min. Also, they propose a guide tour for like 15€ each, and last for 2hours. You won't need it, really! They were like ' if you don't take a guide tour you'll only see some rocks and understand nothing', well they just wanna sell.. The site is really beautiful and it's 8km, you don't wanna be stuck with some group. You can visit it by your own, take some breaks, and you can also take some sandwichs and water with you, because it will take your more than 3 hours to see everything and enjoy all the beautiful views.

Good place to visit in the afternoon, when the sunlight makes this place looking amazing.

It's a must, it could be £50, and I would still pay to go. If you go in the summer, bringing lots of water, a hat, and even an umbrella to block the sun would be a good idea. (July)

We were on a guided tour, which was great because the guide was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, there were times when the tour moved too quickly, and I did not have enough time to look around.

Amazing place. So large. Really need more than one day to take the whole place in. An afternoon is just not enough. Bring your own water. Restrooms can be a ways away. Not the best site for young kids or explaining to your parents.

Very interesting. I highly recommend a guided tour to get the history and truly appreciate what you are looking at. Amazing, so unique and beautiful. Our guide was fantastic. This was one of my favorite stops in Italy.

Amazing and sad at the same time. Recommend ordering tickets online as the queue for buying on the day was long. Also download the free app to help you with your own self guided tour.

If you're in Naples, you HAVE to see Pompei. Visited via a shore excursion from a cruise, and although it was packed with visitors, it's still amazing to see such a well-preserved glimpse into the past. Amazing.

Amazing experience exploring the ancient ruins of Pompeii. So historic and the walk through exhibit was very knowledgeable. Recommended before heading the old streets of what was Pompeii. It's 163 acres of old city area!

Pompei is a must see. A beautiful city with so much to see
