Herculaneum Virtual Reality Headset Experience

Can you imagine what cities in Campania were like before Vesuvius erupted? Now you can find this out on this Herculano virtual reality headset experience. In this immersive experience, you'll explore the archaeological sites with an English audioguide.

Description

At the time indicated, we'll meet at the ticket office in Herculaneum, opposite the ancient Roman city's archaeological site which was covered by lava and ash during Vesuvius' eruption in 79 AD.

Here, we'll receive our tickets to Herculaneum, a virtual reality headset, and an English audioguide. Then, you can explore the site on your own with these devices, allowing you to discover the history of the ancient city immersively.

The VR headset will show a 3D reconstruction of the ruins in Herculaneum. While exploring, following the audioguide's explanations, you'll see various holograms that recreate the life of the Romans before the eruption.

As you enter the baths, the Sacello degli Augustali, and the Casa di Nettuno ed Anfitrite, these significant spots in Herculaneum will come to life with the 3D reconstructions.

At the end of the 2-hour immersive experience, you return your headset and audioguide, after which you can visit the sites in Herculaneum that interested you the most at your leisure.
