Overview
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.

Parco Acheologico di ErcolanoLet us explore together the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, a UNESCO site and one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. Ancient Herculaneum was buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and is a true place of memory: although less extensive than nearby Pompeii, unlike the latter it still bears most of its urban and civic structure. Houses, doors and bedrooms, workshops and objects of all kinds are still perfectly visible. Walking along the paved streets together with your guide will be a unique experience: you will immerse yourself in the daily life of the ancient Herculaneum civilization. You will enter their houses, with still unchanged the warm colors of the frescoes; you will visit the gymnasium and the baths, where the ancients gathered to talk about everything, even politics and business. You will feel as if you can sense the smells, sounds and colors of the ancient city! The use of wheelchairs must be reported 24 hours before the visit.
