  • Your guide isn't following a fixed route.

  • Explore the Samnite House, Forum Baths, Temple of the Augustales, and the House of Neptune and Amphitrite with the kind of depth and pace that a group of 20 simply never allows.

  • Stand at the waterfront boathouses, where over 300 residents were found exactly as the surge left them in 79 AD. Ask every question you have, without an audience or a clock.

Pro tips to help you make a pick

Skip-the-line tickets for Herculaneum are definitely worth it! They can save you anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, letting you skip those long lines and get right to exploring.

If you’re coming from Naples, go for the Pompeii, Herculaneum & Vesuvius Day Trip. In just half a day, you can hop on an air-conditioned coach, explore both Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius, and make the most of your time!

Some areas of Herculaneum may be temporarily closed for preservation work. Check the calendar or inquire at the entrance to adjust your itinerary accordingly.

Your Herculaneum and Pompeii combo tickets allow you to choose different dates of entry. If visiting both on the same day however, plan entry times to allow ample exploration and account for travel between sites.

For a place as rich in history as Herculaneum, a guided tour is a smart choice! Join an expert archaeologist who can dive into the fascinating details, hidden secrets, myths, and stories that bring the site to life.

About Herculaneum

As you enter the world of Herculaneum, history's layers are peeled back to reveal ancient Roman life. From household items to grand frescoes and sculptures, the Vesuvius eruption of 79AD preserved all these and more through the intense pyroclastic surge that swept the city.

Did you know?

It was found that the Vesuvius eruption caused the brains of one of the victims to turn to a glass-like material. This was because the brain had heated up very quickly before cooling down just as fast, thereby crystallizing brain matter.

Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was engulfed by a pyroclastic surge that carbonized and preserved wooden structures, furnishings, and even food.

The ancient Romans believed that Herculaneum was founded by the god Hercules on his return from Iberia.

Archaeologists found about 300 skeletons along the ancient beachfront, providing crucial information on the physical characteristics, health, and diet of the Roman population at the time of the Vesuvius eruption.

Herculaneum was discovered accidentally in 1709 when a well was being dug, revealing the ancient theatre of Herculaneum beneath the ground, marking the start of its rediscovery.

Why visit Herculaneum?

Preservation of ancient ruins

Herculaneum gives you an extraordinary glimpse into ancient Roman life, thanks to its remarkable preservation under layers of volcanic material from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum's ruins are well-maintained, revealing frescoes, intricate mosaics, and carbonized wooden objects. The level of detail here allows you to vividly imagine life in a Roman town.

Lesser crowds, more intimate experience

While its neighbor Pompeii often overshadows it, Herculaneum's quieter ambiance allows for a more intimate exploration of ancient Roman life. Fewer crowds mean more time to linger over the ruins, contemplate the history, and enjoy a peaceful visit.

Easy accessibility and visitor amenities

Conveniently located near Naples and well-connected by public transport, Herculaneum is easily accessible for day-trippers or those on a longer journey. The site is well-organized, with clear signage, guided tours, and visitor amenities ensuring a comfortable and informative visit.

Interactive programs

Herculaneum is not just a static archaeological site; it hosts a variety of educational programs and events that bring ancient history to life. Interactive tours, workshops, and special exhibitions are regularly organized here.

Pompeii was everything I imagined and more! I really appreciated the history and the work it took to preserve and excavate the antiquities on display. The mobile ticket purchase was the way to go and I am glad I did it. This manner of ticketing expedited our way inti the park. However, when you purchase tickets on line, download an app and click on a button that says see tickets, when the tickets pop up with a bar code, that should be your ticket. No! We tried to gain entry to the park and were told those were only vouchers. We had to go get printed tickets at the store where the tickets were sold. We walked 15 minutes from out drop off point (1.8km) and had to wait until we got our printed tickets! Then we discovered our audio files downloaded on our phone wouldn't work because of the poor signal. All that said, buy on line, get deopped off at the store where tickets are printed and hire a guide.

The punctuality, efficiency, and friendliness of the entire team at every site we visited—we got in super fast with no waiting. As soon as we arrived, they gave us our tickets and told us how much time we had (which was plenty). I highly recommend the full tour of the three areas. I think it’s a great investment to see a significant part of Naples; they give you enough time to see absolutely everything and even to buy souvenirs. The vehicles are well-equipped and in good condition—highly recommended from Madrid!!🇪🇸

So helpful to have transport between the sites. It was a little chaotically organised but it worked. Disappointingly there was no time for lunch or coffee breaks, or to visit gift shop at Pompei. I would recommend taking lunch and drinks with you. The tour guide provided at Pompei was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The pompei tour was a little rushed and I didn't feel I had time to look round the museum part properly. The guided tour only does a very small part of the site. Be prepared for a lot of walking on rough ground. If I were to do the tour again, I would miss off Herculaneum. The three site visit was too much for one day.

Great tour. Everything was seamless moving around and we had a good amount of time at Vesuvius and Pompei. Only negative (and a word of warning for cruisers), we got back an hour later than scheduled. A few more minutes and we'd have missed our ship. Otherwise highly recommended.

I have enough time to visit Mount Vesuvius & Herculaneum. Each activities have around 2 to 3 hours to visit, it completes at 3 p.m. something. No lunch breaks, so better to bring your own food or snacks. No need to worry about transportation when you travel. I do not join to visit Pompeii in the day trip, so the driver picks up us after visiting the Herculaneum and we go back to the city of Naples. It is better to advise us before visit so that I know that I will be travelled by another car.
