Herculaneum Day Trip

We will gather at Piazza Giovanni Battista de Curtis before departing Sorrento, setting our sights on the fascinating ruins of Herculaneum.

Our adventure begins as we board a vehicle that will take us directly to this ancient city, which was tragically affected by the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius. On arrival, get ready for an enriching guided exploration of the Herculaneum archaeological site, a site recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Throughout the tour, we will uncover the rich history of the city and discover the everyday lives of its residents before the eruption brought everything to a halt. As we traverse this town preserved in time, we will encounter stunning mosaics, taverns, land plots, residences, and even remains of the inhabitants.

Moreover, Herculaneum boasts an array of vibrant frescoes adorning the walls of its remarkably well-preserved structures. We will visit notable sites including the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, the House of the Deer, and the Headquarters of the Augustal Priests.

After our 2-hour exploration of Herculaneum, we will make our way back to Sorrento, concluding this enriching 4-hour journey.
