Overview

Experience a 2-hour guided tour of the ancient ruins of Paestum, a prestigious UNESCO World Heritage site, with a professional archaeologist. Skip-the-line tickets are included for a small group of up to 20 people.

Explore the captivating Paestum ruins, including its three magnificent Doric temples, the amphitheater, the forum, and the markets. Following the ruins, you'll visit the National Archaeological Museum, home to some of Magna Graecia's most exquisite artworks.
