Hi/Bounjorno-
An itinerary change is having us in a position to find a reliable and trustworthy place to store our luggage in pompeii ( pref near central train station if possible). anyone have experience with this? thank you
Just want to put out a warning to anyone traveling on the public transport around Pompeii to be cautious of pickpockets.
Today we were returning to Naples from the Pompeii station which was very crowded while getting back onto the train. Firstly I noticed a man was pushing very close to my wife in front of me, kind of shoving her onto the train (it was very busy) I then looked down and his hand was inside my pocket, I was seconds away from having my wallet stolen. I confronted him when I noticed and made others very aware of what he was trying, he then immediately left the train.
I didn't actually have much inside my wallet, only a few euros/train tickets wanted them handy at the station incase they wee checked as I was aware of the threat of pickpockets but it shocked me that I had been targeted.
I know this can and does happen anywhere in the world, not just in Italy or Naples, but I just want to make everyone aware to be cautious while at these stations. Keep any valuables in a secure place and always keep an eye out for those you are traveling with.
Hello-
May I please have suggestions? I will be in Rome for 5 days and then in the west near the FCO airport for 3 days...
I want to take the kids to Pompeii...How do you suggest I do that? Should I take them while in Rome or when we are near Ladispoli. We will have a car in Ladispoli. Should we drige or take the the train to Rome and then south to Pompeii? thanks!
My wife and I are currently in our honeymoon, and we just realized pompeii is just around the corner. So naturally, we booked tickets for tomorrow - but we really don't know anything about pompeii, and "lets rewatch the dr. who episode about pompeii" didn't feel like it would really prepare us (tho we are still totally doing that).
So... I read there is an audio guide - is it also available in english / german, and is it good? Should we buy a guide / are there tours? Should we go on our own? What should we absolutly see? (I'm reading "villa of mysteries" quite often?)
