When to consider visiting

May–June and September–October

Seasonal guidance is a starting point; check weather and dates for your chosen experiences.

Choosing a base

Pompei (near train station): Closest practical base with frequent regional train links and many hotels. Porta Marina / Main Ruins area: Shortest walk to the main entrances of the archaeological park. Sorrento (if combining coast + ruins): Good coastal base with regular ferries and buses to Pompeii for day trips.
