Pompeii Accessibility Guide – Routes, Surfaces, and Rests

Before You Go

• Confirm current accessible route maps at the entrance.
• Bring sturdy wheels if possible; ancient stones are irregular.

On the Ground

You’ll find stretches of smoother walkways, ramps at select crossings, and some buildings with improved access. That said, unevenness and gradients exist — pace matters.

Strategy

• Choose clusters: Forum zone, amphitheatre sector, or a Villa of the Mysteries walk depending on energy.
• Build in quiet, shaded rests. Hydration helps with focus on footing.
