Paestum and archaeological sites to visit from 18 to 24 May 2026

From 18 to 24 May 2026 the Campania region presents several ways to experience its archaeological heritage: the Paestum Archaeological Park leads the program with the "Summer at Paestum" evening series, alongside special openings and historical-house routes in Naples.

What to expect at Paestum

• Evening guided tours: itineraries among temples, walls and monuments with historical and archaeological insights in a twilight setting.
• Family activities: educational workshops and trails designed for children and non-specialist audiences.
• Cultural events: readings, talks and themed walks that combine outreach with the park's evocative environment.
• Slow enjoyment: evening schedules promote a contemplative visit, perfect after a day on the coast or in nearby villages.

Other heritage options in Campania

Beyond Paestum, urban routes in Naples and visits to historic residences complement a wider cultural itinerary: look for special openings and dedicated Sundays to enrich your week.

Practical advice

• Check schedules and book: many evening events require reservation or advance tickets; consult official channels before you go.
• Arrive early: guided tours start at set times; arrive a bit early to collect tickets or materials.
• Clothing: comfortable shoes, a light jacket for the evening and a torch if recommended.
• Transport: plan for evening travel; services can change during peak season.
