Pompeii Limits Daily Visitors to Combat Overcrowding

The archaeological site now restricts entry to 20,000 people per day to preserve its fragile heritage.

Pompeii has implemented a daily visitor cap of 20,000 to address the challenges of mass tourism.
This summer, the site experienced record numbers, with over four million visitors and peaks of 36,000 in a single day.
Tickets are now personalized to manage the flow of visitors more effectively.
Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the site's director, cites the need to protect both visitors and the site's delicate remains.
Pompeii, buried in 79 AD by a volcanic eruption, remains one of Italy's most visited attractions.
