Pompeii is renewing its annual pass for site visits at an even more competitive rate. It is a new way to experience Pompeii and the sites of the Archaeological Park, at a price which is affordable for all, and with the opportunity to participate in and to be informed about ongoing initiatives.

The card, which features the owner’s name and is non-transferable, will be valid for one year from the date of issue, and will – upon display of an identity document – permit unlimited admission to all sites of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, as well as to current temporary exhibitions and to certain special and exclusive events, which will be communicated periodically.The card will be valid during ordinary opening days and times.
