The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy shoes
Ancient Roman paving is uneven and often sloped; closed-toe shoes with good grip reduce trip risk.
Bring 1L+ water
There are limited shaded areas inside the site—hydrate before and during the tour, especially in summer.
Sun protection
Sunscreen, a hat and light long sleeves matter: much of the route is exposed midday.
Follow path rules
Respect ropes and signs; touching frescoes or climbing structures damages fragile archaeology.
