Vesuvius & Herculaneum Excursion

We'll meet at 9:30 am at Piazza Garibaldi to board a bus to Herculaneum, an ancient Roman city known for its wealth and cultural heritage.

Upon arrival, you'll receive a skip-the-line ticket to the site, with time to explore at your leisure. Notable monuments include the House of the Deer, the Forum, Baths, and buildings with colorful mosaics such as the House of Neptune and Amphitrite.
