Herculaneum Ruins Excursion

We'll pick you up at your hotel around 9 am and set off for the archaeological site of Herculaneum, one of the three Roman cities buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

We'll explore the cobblestone streets of the site, visiting the houses and thermal complexes that survived the pyroclastic flow of the volcano. Herculaneum even had a gymnasium.

During the visit, we'll examine the well-preserved materials and facades of the buildings while discussing the artistic styles and construction techniques of the time.

We'll stop in front of key monuments, including the Hall of the Augustals, the baths, the House of Aristides and Neptune, the Samnite House, and the beach where more than 300 people died.

After two hours of exploring, we will conclude the activity by returning to Pompeii.
