Herculaneum Ruins Excursion

We'll pick you up at your hotel or selected meeting point at the indicated time and set off for the archaeological site of Herculaneum, one of the three Roman cities buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The visit involves exploring the cobblestone streets of the site, including houses and thermal complexes that survived the pyroclastic flow. The ancient Herculaneum featured a gymnasium.

As you admire the well-preserved materials and facades, we will discuss the artistic styles and construction techniques of the era. Significant monuments on the tour include the Hall of the Augustals, the baths, the House of Aristides and Neptune, the Samnite House, and the beach where over 300 people perished.

After the visit, you'll have free time to rest or have a meal. The excursion concludes with a return to the starting point after approximately 2 hours of hiking.
