Lupanare itself is the brothel - it is now a popular tourist site of the ruins. The place is sorted to allow entry via one way and exit another. But it is not sign posted or obvious - so if you go the wrong way you get abused, redirected still with no clue where to go. The ruins themselves are better for walking - flatter walkways. But still not mapped well. Having now been 3 times I think the best way is with a guide. Also consider strongly Herculaneum - more preserved.

Extremely interesting place. This is the ancient red house of Pompeii and you can even see the positions the prostitutes used to offer to clients

One of the best places to see. Amazing that the"menu"was preserved. Love the 'pompeii GPS' (according to our guide - global penis system)
