Walking
From the Pompeii Archaeological Park entrance (Porta Marina), head northeast on Via Villa dei Misteri. Continue straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Via Roma. Turn right onto Via Roma and walk for about 200 meters until you reach the bus station (Piazza Esedra). From there, take bus line 9 towards Santa Maria Capua Vetere. After approximately 15 minutes, get off at the stop 'Piazza Adriano'. The Anfiteatro Campano will be directly in front of you.
Bus
Start at the Pompeii train station (Pompei Scavi – Villa dei Misteri). Board the EAV bus line that goes towards Santa Maria Capua Vetere. You will need to stay on the bus for about 30 minutes. Once you arrive at the stop 'Piazza Adriano', disembark, and you will find the Anfiteatro Campano a short walk away.

If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from your location in Pompeii. Request the driver to take you to 'Piazza Adriano, Santa Maria Capua Vetere'. The journey will take around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. Upon arrival, the Anfiteatro Campano will be visible in the square.
