Herculaneum Ruins Excursion

Pickup from your hotel will be around 9 am for the archaeological site of Herculaneum, one of the three Roman cities buried by the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The excursion involves exploring the cobblestone streets of the site and visiting the well-preserved houses and thermal complexes affected by the pyroclastic flow of the volcano.

During the visit, there will be an opportunity to examine the artistic styles and construction techniques of that time. Prominent sites include the Hall of the Augustals, the baths, the House of Aristides and Neptune, the Samnite House, and the beach where over 300 people lost their lives.

The tour will last approximately two hours, concluding with a return to Pompeii.
