General

From the time of purchase, you have 6 months to activate your Naples Pass. Activation can be done at any time directly from in the My Pass section of the Naples Pass App, available in the Google Play Store and App Store. From then on, the Pass will be valid for the duration of your subscription: 1 day, 3 days, 5 days or 7 days.  Please note that the validity of the pass is in consecutive hours, e.g. 3-day pass: active Monday 12:00 noon expires Thursday 12:00 noon.  While the validity of public transportation is by days: so if you activate it at 3:00 p.m. it will trigger a day used at 11:59 p.m.

On these occasions, due to high attendance, entry may not be guaranteed. Possession of the Naples Pass does not grant priority access.

Userful info for Pompeii

Yes, access to Pompeii includes a skip-the-line option for Naples Pass holders. The reserved access is through a dedicated entrance:

- Entrance from Piazza Esedra 

Important: please remember that entry to Pompeii is nominative. Even if you are entitled to “skip-the-line” access, you will still need to go to the desk, show an identity document, and receive an admission ticket issued in your name.

Access to Pompeii Suburban Villas ( Ville dei Misteri + Villa di Diomede + Villa Regina and Antiquarium in Boscoreale )  is no longer included in the Pass. You can access them with an additional ticket for €8 - payment by card only - directly at the beginning of the route at the entrance to the Gate of Herculaneum - Via delle Tombe. Important: Access to the Suburban Villas cannot be purchased individually, but only as an additional ticket.  

Yes, from November 15, 2024, access to the Pompeii Archaeological Park will be nominal, meaning that each visitor must present a valid identity document upon entry.

Therefore, even those entitled to “Skip-the-Line” access from Piazza Esedra, such as Naples Pass holders, will need to go through the desk, show an identity document, and receive a ticket with their name on it.

- Organized groups: A cumulative ticket will be issued with the name of the agency or tour operator. To collect the tickets, it will be necessary to present a list of participants in Excel or Word format on the operator’s letterhead.

- Family groups: At least one member must present an identity document and collect the cumulative ticket. The ticket will indicate the name of this member and, if present, the name of any accompanying guide.

No, it is not necessary to book to enter Pompeii. Naples Pass holders can go directly to the dedicated “skip-the-line” entrance at Piazza Esedra.

To reach the Pompeii Archaeological Park from Naples, you can purchase the round-trip transport option Naples – Pompeii, available at an additional cost in all versions of the Naples Pass. This ticket is valid for: 

- The Circumvesuviana train, at Naples Piazza Garibaldi Circumvesuviana Station.
- The Naples - Pompeii train operated by Trenitalia, departing from Naples Piazza Garibaldi Station.

The ticket is not valid for:
- The Campania Express train

For convenient access through the “skip-the-line” entrance from Piazza Esedra, reserved for Naples Pass holders, we recommend taking the Circumvesuviana train departing from Napoli Piazza Garibaldi (Central Station). Once you arrive at the station:

- Follow the signs for “Circumvesuviana”
- Go down to the underground level dedicated to the EAV line
- Take the train towards Sorrento
- Get off at the stop Pompei Scavi - Villa dei Misteri
- Go to Piazzale Esedra to use the reserved “skip-the-line” access dedicated to Naples Pass holders.

Important: please remember that entry to Pompeii is nominative. Even if you are entitled to skip-the-line access, you must still go to the desk, show an identity document, and receive a personalized admission ticket.

Transport

If it is not possible to validate the e-ticket to access transport services (for example due to the absence of turnstiles with electronic readers or their malfunction), please contact the staff on board or at the entrance, who are usually present in the station.

In any case, the QR code must be activated: the ticket is only valid once the QR code has been activated.

The e-ticket is activated manually, in the My Pass Section of Naples Pass Aapp, by clicking on the "activate" button. We recommend activating the e-ticket near the turnstile: once activated you only have one hour to use it. The e-ticket can only be activated if there is an internet connection.

Important: 
- Using the ticket multiple times, the QR code may need to be updated. Please keep in mind that in some underground stations (e.g. metro line 1 - Toledo station) the internet connection is poor. We, therefore, recommend updating your ticket before going underground and approaching the turnstile.

- If you experience difficulties validating your ticket at the turnstile, we recommend asking for assistance from ANM or EAV staff, who are usually present in all stations.

- Beware the multi-day public transportation pass works by days and not by hours like the museum qrcode. Example: public transportation if active at 11:59 p.m. is worth a full day.
