What is the best time to visit Pompeii?

Last updated on April 1, 2026

The best time to visit Pompeii is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and fall (September to October). During these months, you’ll enjoy milder temperatures and fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, which can be hot and busy. If possible, plan your visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the hottest hours and the largest crowds. Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends, offering a more peaceful experience as you explore this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site.
