What should I pack for Pompeii?

Bring a water bottle, hat, and sunscreen

There's no shade in Pompeii; you'll be in the sun for hours. Make sure to bring a water bottle (there are places you can fill it up again). Wear a good sun hat, or bring an umbrella to beat the sun. And take the time to lather up with sunscreen a few times during the day.
