Inside the park so kinda weird that there’s a separate Google listing for each temple when you pay once to visit them all. Plus, how would you rate one temple fewer stars than the others? They’re all over 2,000 years old still standing! I’m struck by how perfectly level and straight the columns and flooring blocks are. Shows fantastic engineering and planning and site prep.

Don't miss Paestum. We arrived just as they closed the gates, but the views from outside the fences were so good we almost didn't go back the next morning. What a mistake that would have been. Upclose access to wellpreserved temples, and acres of tumbled ruins of lesser homes and palaces.

We got free entry as it was a national Republic day then. The temple complex is huge. The archaeology remains appear much grand than in pictures. However still in good shape particularly the temple of Neptune. I would suggest to buy a booklet giving information and it has nice illustrations about how this place must have looked in its heydays. Nice break from crowded tourists spots along amalfi coast

A very impressive archeological park that we stumbled upon whilst motor biking from Diamanté to Salerno. Well worth the €15 ticket - the park is well maintained and well organised. Plenty of parking available and some nearby food options. It’s ideal to park at the exit, closer to Temple of Athena, and walk up to the entrance. Allow at least one hour, more if you visit the museum which is included in the ticket price.

This place is far more interesting than you expect. We were here for about 3 hours. The museum is informative. Once you are on the actual site it seems wrong to be able to walk all over the sites of the buildings. Beautiful mosaics are left open to the elements. Some visual representation of what the buildings may have looked like would have been useful. Excellent value for money. Signage around the site is poor though

Very nice place to visit, must be prepare for the heat and lots of walking. There are restaurants and souvenir stores to enjoy

A beautiful place to visit and get up and close to the Ancient Artifacts.

I love ancient sites, I've been lucky enough to see plenty of these throughout the countries around the Med. But this Paestum one, it's really something! The park is so beautiful with majestic trees everywhere, its roman ruins and, obviously, those breathtaking ancient greek temples of Hera and Athena. If you're a history enthusiast, you can't miss that one!

Sublime ancient greek temples (better than most you can find in greece). Absolutely no crowds on a sunny november afternoon. Unmatched vibes.

This archaeological park is a true treasure—beautifully preserved and impressively expansive. Its size means you can explore at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed by crowds, a refreshing contrast to more tourist-heavy sites. While getting there isn't the easiest journey, the reward is well worth the effort. The peaceful atmosphere and rich historical significance make it an unforgettable experience for anyone with a passion for the past.

Beautifully maintained. I’d highly recommend going here if you’re into architecture and archaeology. Fascinating. Good food stops nearby too. Great parking within steps of the museum. 3 euro lot.

Hard to put into words. If you’re a history lover, Paestum is a must. The ancient Greek temples are breathtaking, and walking through the ruins feels like stepping back in time. It’s peaceful, fascinating, and well worth the visit. You should also visit the nearby Museum as part of the tour, it’s fascinating.

We loved this stop, came here on an excursion from our cruise ship that docked in Salerno. Great ruins, fascinating. Greek & Roman ruins. Hot in the sun, bring water, not much shade while walking the ruins. Wayside signs explained what you were looking at in English.

***CLOSED ON MONDAYS FROM 20 OCTOBER TO 15 DECEMBER*** I would like to give 1 star because they do not have this information anywhere on the website. I returned on a different day and had a great visit hence the 3/5. Dozens of tourists (myself included) arrived on a Monday and had no choice but to leave disappointed. It’s incredibly disrespectful to those that come from all over the world to see this beautiful piece of cultural heritage. —— Easily accessible by train from Naples. The Paestum train station is a 10 minute walk away. Also easily accessed by car. Your ticket includes access to the archeological museum (across the street) and to the archeological site of Velia (45 km south). This archeological site is incredible. It’s not overrun with tourists and the temples are very well preserved. There are plaques and signs with explanations in Italian and English. The park has two entrances, but only one of them sells tickets and had a gift shop. If you want to enter via the other entrance, you will be told to purchase your ticket at the museum. A truly special place that is a must see when visiting the region.

A brilliant historical part of Italys Greek occpancy. Two acropolis one older that the other side by dide. Dedicated Temples and architecture surrounded by mixed pre Roman and Greek ruins. Romanruins pre Roman.

What a wonderfully preserved piece of history. We had a guided tour. Imagine if you did a self tour or could take hours. So much to learn. And fact that you can touch makes it even more mesmerizing.

Thank you, Italy, for preserving such an amazing historical site. The Hera Temples at Paestum are truly remarkable — well maintained, awe-inspiring, and full of history. The entrance fee is also very reasonable for the experience. A must-visit!

Worth walking around and contemplating the majestic temples. Sadly the entry fee is fairly high.

Incredible how these temples from 400BC have been preserved so well. The museum is being redeveloped: expected to reopen fully in October 2023, currently only 20% of museum is accessible. But all the outdoor sites are open. Parking very reasonable: €3 for 3 hours (August 2023). Definitely worth having a guide, though audio guides are available.

Temples and the most of the city is very well preserved. Yet, it is one place in Italy where you don't fight the crowds. Three town itself is beautiful with the fresh cheese farms and a wonderful beach. I'm sure it's way more crowded in the summer months.

Temples to Hera – Paestum, Italy. The two largest temples of Paestum, long mislabelled as the “Basilica” and “Temple of Neptune”, are now widely thought to honour Hera, Queen of the Gods. The absence of any inscribed dedication leaves this a scholarly deduction, drawn from votive finds and the city’s known cult practices. Built in the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, their massive Doric columns rise without ornament, their weathered fluting still catching the light from the Tyrrhenian coast. Even stripped of cult image and ritual, they command the plain with a solemn grandeur — stone witnesses to a city where Greek settlers, Roman conquerors, and medieval farmers each left their trace.

🏛In my opinion a little bit too expensive. The price is the same as the one in Pompei with the difference that Pomepi is 4 times bigger and it takes more to visit and much more details to look at. However the site is of an inestimable importance and its absolultly worth it to visit. 📍The valley of Paestum is special to me for a mix of reasons ( the morphology- food - weather - history- traditions) The If you like sunsets and history you can here combine that if you visit it on a sunny and clear day. 🌅

To the east of the Italic Temple is a small Anfiteatro or Roman Amphiteater. Central element of Roman Paestum, the amphitheater was built around 50 BC to towards the end of the 1st century AD. An external ring has been added to increase its capacity. Only the southern half of theater is still visible. In 1930, Highway 18 was built across the site, burying the northern half. The road was designed to pass by the ruins in order to provide the experience of seeing the ruins up close, but without thinking about what was still hidden. It is said by local inhabitants that the civil engineer responsible was tried, convicted and received a prison sentence for what was described as wanton destruction of a historic site.

Interesting site on way between the two temple complexes

Currently it's closed so you can only see it from the street

Just incredible - a definite must visit

Very beautiful Archaeological Amphitheatre used during the ancient times.

Rome was bigger. Not much left.

We just visited rivabianca the daughter of the owner and the owner showed us the whole process of the mozzarella di buffala and la ricotta, it was really interesting for us,it’s not just a job but a passion, They know how to share it , thank you so much for hosting us like that 😀😀😀

Quite possibly the best mozzarella on the planet. There are bigger more well known operators, but you can't beat the friendly service here and the quality of the products is second to none. Everything is made fresh on the premises.

Magnificent Mozzarella. Doesn't come cheap for local standards, but the complexity of the cheese is worth it. They also sell fine buffala meat.

Excellent place, mozzarella buffalo is very tasty, staff is very nice

(Translated by Google) Lots of products and all the ones I've had are amazing... fresh caciocavallo, yogurt, delicious scamorza. I stopped mainly for the meat, and as soon as I entered I immediately found a connection with the tall gentleman, presumably the owner... he even photocopied the recommended marinade for the meat. Buffalo cooked on the grill this evening, with its marinade, a fantastic result. 10 and praise... spectacular meat. Thank you (Original) Tanti prodotti e tutti quelli che ho preso sono strepitosi... caciocavallo fresco, yogurt, scamorza buonissima. mi sono fermato principalmente per la carne, e appena entrato ho trovato subito una sintonia con il signore alto, presumibilmente il proprietario... mi ha addirittura fotocopiato la marinatura consigliata per la carne. Bufalo cotto alla brace stasera stessa, con la sua marinatura, risultato da urlo. 10 e lode... carne spettacolare. Grazie

An experience that I will certainly repeat every time I am in the area. (Original) Il caseificio Rivabianca di Paestum è un vero gioiello per gli amanti della buona mozzarella di bufala. Ho avuto il piacere di visitarlo di recente e sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto dell'esperienza. Innanzitutto, la mozzarella di bufala che ho acquistato era semplicemente deliziosa. Fresca, cremosa e piena di sapore, ha davvero reso il mio pasto indimenticabile. È evidente che il caseificio si impegna a offrire prodotti di alta qualità e genuinità. La signora che mi ha servito è stata eccezionale: gentile, cortese e molto disponibile.

Infine, i prezzi sono stati molto convenienti, considerando la qualità dei prodotti offerti. È davvero raro trovare un equilibrio così perfetto tra qualità e convenienza.

Un'esperienza che sicuramente ripeterò ogni volta che sarò in zona.

(Translated by Google) The selection of buffalo cheeses is truly breathtaking. The burrata and ricotta are superb, while the mozzarella and caciotta are excellent. The prices are more than adequate for the quality. I wanted to buy the meat (it looked very tempting), but after compulsively buying the cheeses, I forgot about it. I'll definitely return. (Original) C’è da sbizzarrirsi nella scelta dei formaggi di bufala. Apoteosi la burrata e la ricotta, ottimale mozzarelle e caciotte. Prezzi più che adeguati alla qualità. Volevo comprare la carne (aveva un aspetto molto invitante) ma dopo l’acquisto compulsivo dei formaggi mi son dimenticato. Da ritornare.
