Lockers, cloakroom & luggage storage
Left luggage / deposit available at the Porta Marina and Piazza Anfiteatro entrances. The regulations page does not state cost; the Visitor Services page indicates it is for a fee, so free status is unconfirmed.

Find luggage storage in Pompeii →"Allowed inside" vs "storage available"
Allowed inside means you can carry the item with you through the galleries or the site. Storage available means it isn't allowed with you, but you can leave it in a locker or cloakroom and collect it on the way out. A venue can offer storage and still refuse oversized suitcases entirely — so a large suitcase may be neither allowed inside nor accepted for storage. When in doubt, travel light or store luggage off-site before you arrive.
Practical tips
- Bring a bag within the published size limit (Permitted bag size 30x30x15 cm; suitcases, bulky bags and other cumbersome objects exceeding this must be left in the left luggage area.) so you aren't turned away at security.
- On-site lockers / cloakroom are available, but they can fill up at busy times — have a backup plan.
- Rules and security checks change — always confirm on the official site before your visit.
