Pompeii for All
Adapted route with remaining barriers
Enter at Piazza Anfiteatro for the approximately 3.5-km adapted itinerary. Some slopes exceed 8%, paving is uneven and small height changes remain; independent wheelchair travel can be difficult.
Step by step
Getting ashore
Ships dock at the Stazione Marittima at Molo Angioino, beside the Castel Nuovo in central Naples.
- 1Walk into Naples
Piazza del Plebiscito and the Royal Palace are 10 minutes away.
- 2Catch a ferry
Ferries and hydrofoils to Capri, Sorrento and Ischia leave from Molo Beverello next door.
- 3Train to Pompeii
Circumvesuviana trains from Garibaldi station reach Pompei Scavi in about 40 minutes.
💡 Pro move: For Capri or the Amalfi Coast, book a tour or go early — ferries fill fast in summer.

Port-specific access research
Mobility & accessibility in Naples
Pompeii has a dedicated adapted itinerary, but the archaeological park explicitly warns that it can still require assistance. It should not be sold as smooth, level sightseeing.
Published sources reviewed October 17, 2026. This is desk research, not an on-site access audit. Access can change with the ship, berth, equipment and operating conditions.
Attractions and excursions: what changes the choice
Pompeii houses and Antiquarium
Choose the published accessible stops
The park publishes a list of accessible buildings and notes an Antiquarium ramp and internal lift. Not every excavated house is included, so agree the actual stops and exit with the guide.
A practical way to plan this port
Planning suggestion: Book the adapted entrance and a shorter agreed selection of ruins with suitable assistance and a lift-equipped Naples transfer.
Confirm before booking
- Current route closures and whether your chair can manage the remaining gradients.
- Assistance availability, weather exposure and an appropriate return pickup exit.
