Entrance is currently free as you can’t enter the actual amphitheatre. There was a fire in July 2021 and the area inside the amphitheatre was all closed off still which was a shame. However, we were still able to access the underground area which was very interesting and atmospheric! Signage to the ampitheatre is fairly poor

I loved this place as it’s right off the usual tourist route so you get to enjoy it without the crowds …. When I visited I was literally the only person there! Underneath is so intact and awe inspiring you can almost feel the atmosphere. Totally recommend it as not far from Naples.

What an eerie experience walking through the underground passages of this amphitheatre with not another human being in sight. It was so quiet and all I could hear was the occasional caw of a bird.
There was very little information and I'm sure many, many things were missed that woud have been interesting to know. f i was visiting again I'd definitely source a guide nevertheless I'm pleased I visited.
Friendly staff. Thank you.

We had visited the colluseum in Rome the day before. It was crammed with tourists, almost impossible to enjoy despite the grandeur of the surroundings. Then we stumbled on this gem by accident.
We visited in the early afternoon and quite literally had the entire complex to ourselves, we could walk around and beneath the amphitheatre in total comfort and marvel at the construction that was still in decent shape 2000 years after being built. If you are in the area it is well worth the visit.

A must-see for anyone interested in history visiting Pozzuoli, given that it is the third largest amphitheatre in Italy.. However, access to the above ground parts is limited to glimpses from the periphery. The areas below ground are accessible, and very interesting. More information in the form of a guidebook or leaflet would have been welcome.

The site which is easy to reach on foot in the town of pozzuoli is an absolute treasure. Unlike visiting the “mother ship” or Colosseum in Rome, you can wander both below and around without dodging other tourists or waiting on line. We walked right in and passed one family and one guide with 2 clients during our 1 long visit. The lower level is particularly suggestive to see. I wouldn’t miss it if you are in the area of beautiful Campi Flegrei.

Pozzuoli is a hidden gem. Why is it so overlooked? The amphitheatre is truly magnificent, apart from the obscure opening times - every 40 minutes, shut Tuesday. Then the temple of Neptune and scattered ruins down into the port itself to look at the Temple. Just get the Metro from Naples to Pozzuoli Solfatara, right out of the station, and right down the hill and you're there. No food, no shop, a small entrance fee. Parking - as usual - is difficult but not impossible. I live here, I see it every day. It ceases to amaze me. Pozzuoli is where St Paul landed when he was taken to Rome, it's actually mentioned in the Bible (Acts, in those days it was known as Puteoli). A little further to the west and you can see the Gates of Hades. It's all here. Living history, enjoy. The people are so helpful and friendly.

I was dazzeled by the fact that you could enter the quarters in which the animals and gladiators were waiting to enter the arena.
Never Iw as able to see this, even not in Rome in the colosseum.
AMAZING

It is in a better condition then the Colosseum, especially the arena and the underground rooms. Highly recommended.

The third largest and least busy in Italy. If you are interested in Rome this is essential. Pozzuoli is full of temples, bath houses and incidental buildings which form part of its infrastructure.

From Naples, what is the best way to go to Pozzuoli? What is the best way to go to visit the Amphitheater Falvius? Any travel tips appreciated...
Written January 22, 2015
The Metro Line 2 (at Piazza Garibaldi or Piazza Cavour). It brings you on the upper side of Pozzuoli, just on the back of the amphitheater. With the ticket of the amphitheater you can visit three other site (Baths of Baia, Castle of Baia aka Museum of Phlegraean Fields and the site of Cuma). From Pozzuoli you can move in the other Phlegraean village with the buses. Bus called "Bacoli" for the two sites of Baia (you can take it just out the amphitheater) and bus 12 for Cuma (you can take it down to the harbor). The day off of the amphitheater is Tuesday, the Baia's ones is Monday. Have a nice travel!
