Getting There -- You can easily get to Pompeii by public transportation using the Circumvesuviana railway (tel. 800-053939; www.vesuviana.it), which leaves from Naples's Stazione Circumvesuviana, Corso Garibaldi, off Piazza Garibaldi (Metro: Garibaldi). On the Sorrento line, get off at Pompeii Villa dei Misteri, only a few yards from the Porta Marina entrance to the archaeological area. If you take the Poggiomarino line, get off at Pompeii Santuario, in the center of Pompeii, only steps from the sanctuary and a couple hundred yards from the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance to the archaeological area. Trains leave every half-hour, and the 45-minute ride costs 2.50€ ($3.50/£1.75).
By car, take the autostrada A3 and exit at POMPEI OVEST or POMPEI EST. Follow the brown signs for POMPEI SCAVI.
