Day two is all Pompeii: the train from Napoli Garibaldi takes about 40 minutes, and the site itself needs at least 3 to 4 hours. Book Pompeii and the Sansevero Chapel ahead. At Pompeii, download the map and mark the essentials: the forum, the Stabian Baths, the House of the Faun, the House of the Vettii, the Villa of the Mysteries and the amphitheatre. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update. ## Day two: Pompeii Set off early to be there at opening: Pompeii is hot by midday and the groups multiply. Start at the forum with its Vesuvius view, then the baths and Via dell'Abbondanza; after lunch, the House of the Faun, the Villa of the Mysteries outside the walls and the amphitheatre at the eastern end. Bring water, a hat and comfortable shoes for the big paving stones and the lack of shade. Take the same train back to Naples in the evening and finish with pizza in the centre. ## More to see Before Pompeii, visit the [Archaeological Museum](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/naples-archaeological-museum) to see the original mosaics and frescoes from the houses you'll walk through. With a third day, add [Vesuvius](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/mount-vesuvius) and [Herculaneum](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/herculaneum), or the [Capodimonte](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/capodimonte) museum. ## Tips - Buy Pompeii tickets online. - Reach Pompeii at opening, with water and a hat. - Churches require covered shoulders and knees, and large backpacks are often refused. - Italy uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere; carry a little cash for cafés and markets. Buy museum tickets ahead on official sites, where closing days are listed too. - Get off at Pompei Scavi – Villa dei Misteri for the ruins. ## Questions ### What should I see in Naples in 2 days?
