Practical tips

• Check opening hours and reservations: consult the official site of each museum or archaeological area for time slots, mandatory bookings or entry limits.
• Arrive early: for highly visited sites such as Pompeii and Herculaneum, arriving early reduces waiting times and the risk of restricted access.
• ID and conduct: carry identification if requested and follow rules for the protection of artefacts while visiting.
• Scope of free entry: the free admission applies to state-owned monuments, museums, galleries, archaeological sites, parks and monumental gardens.

For precise information about schedules and access procedures, refer to the official channels of each institution before planning your visit.
