About Activity
Explore ruins of Herculaneum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most preserved ancient cities.
Herculaneum was buried under volcanic material after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD but, unlike the nearby site of Pompeii, a lot of the town was preserved: roofs, beds, doors, food, and even skeletons. Walk the cobbled streets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site with an archaeologist and get a glimpse of what life was like before the devastating eruption. Explore intact buildings at your own pace, see well-preserved frescoes, and imagine the daily rituals of those using the shops, public gymnasium and public thermal baths that can still be seen today.
*Any wheelchair use must be reported 24 hours prior to the tour

Stroll through the main road with ancient shops, well-preserved houses, Roman Palestra, Decumano, and thermal bath or Roman spa.

we debated between Pompeii and Herculaneum and think we made the correct choice. We were able to see all of Herculaneum in a half day and still have time for other areas of Naples. Also, my son had been disappointed in Pompeii years ago as all artifacts are in the museum, not on site. Our guide, Riccardo, was both knowledgeable and passionate about the site. The only issue is getting cabs to and from the site is not real easy.
Beautiful ancient city
