Herculaneum was an amazing place really brought to life by the audio tour. Best of all there were few tourists due to the time of year. The available exhibits were fascinating and provided an excellent insight to the lives of the people at the time of the devastating eruption. It was also most interesting to learn about the different archaeological techniques used in recovering this ancient site.

It was so easy booking tickets for Herculaneum on Headout! The site itself is well restored giving an interesting insight into life prior to the eruption! It was heartbreaking going down to the previous shoreline and seeing the skeletons of those who were waiting to be rescued! Loved the paintings which are still visible all these years later! The only downside is that it is at least 20 min walk from the station. We struggled to find a bus or taxi to take us to the site.

Fellow travelers- for Pompeii they do not send you your tickets, you have to go exchange your voucher for a ticket which took an additional 20 mins because I had to wait in line with those buying tickets. Honestly felt like I could have bought tickets there instead of through a 3rd party. I am sure there are times of the year when tickets sell out but something to consider. Herculaneum tickets were sent directly to me, and there was no line. I had an 8:30am entry and showed up at 2pm and they let me in no problem. I recommend going to Pompeii first because it is more popular.

It is impressive to see in person how deep the city was buried and how far from the sea. That the skeletons were found on the jetties is very impressive. Finding the works of art that decorated the houses, frescoes, mosaics ... statues is a marvel.

Your experience

Herculaneum

Herculaneum, believed to have Greek origins due to its strongly Greek name, traces its history back to the 6th century BC. Unlike Pompeii, it's smaller, less crowded, and exceptionally well-preserved, offering a unique glimpse into life in the first century. Upon bypassing lengthy ticket lines with skip-the-line access, explore various well-preserved features of the ancient Greco-Roman town, including intact upper floors of houses, a majestic basilica, marble bathhouses, and a large spa complex. Additionally, the site boasts an array of frescoes, murals, paintings, woodwork, and metal artifacts.

Naples Archaeological Museum

For history enthusiasts or those captivated by the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, a visit to the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli is a must! Marvel at an exceptional mosaic depicting Alexander the Great's triumph over the Persians, immerse yourself in the beauty of Pompeian wall paintings, and admire classical sculptures such as the Farnese Bull and Atlas. Delve into the museum's most intriguing section, the Secret Cabinet, where a collection of erotic artifacts awaits, gathered from Pompeii's bars, brothels, and homes. From provocative frescoes to an intriguing assortment of phallic lucky charms, this exhibit offers a unique glimpse into ancient Roman sensuality and culture.
