The route
The stops
Before you start
The tour opens with a short introduction, free like stop 1:
Welcome to Pompeii. This walk has eleven stops, from the old sea gate to the amphitheatre on the far side of town. It's a little over two kilometres, and with time to look around it takes two to two and a half hours. Wear good shoes. The paving is ancient, uneven, and the kerbs are high.

Questions
Is this the official Pompeii audio guide?
No. Vereda Guides is an independent guide made by CanaryCoders, a small company on Lanzarote. It has no link with the archaeological park and doesn't include an entry ticket. Buy your ticket from the park.
Where does the walk start?
At Porta Marina, a few minutes on foot from Pompei Scavi station, and it ends at the Amphitheatre. Coming in through another gate? Pick any stop and the directions start from where you are.
How long does it take?
The route is about 2,5 km. With time to look around, plan two to two and a half hours. The audio adds up to about 16 minutes, so most of the time is yours.
Do I need mobile data?
In the browser, yes: the audio streams as you go, under 10 MB for the whole tour. The app will let you download it before you leave the hotel.
