Amphitheatre of Pompeii
Cultural siteAmalfi CoastAbout 3 hours
The oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre, at the far end of the Pompeii site from the main entrance — which is why most visitors turn back before reaching it and why it is often nearly empty. Pompeii itself needs three hours minimum, good shoes and water; the site is large, hard and unshaded.
