Overview

Choose to relive the history of the elegant city of Herculaneum with our expert guide!
Here you will admire ancient artifacts from over 2000 years ago almost intact, which differentiate this site from Pompeii, making it a unique and unmissable experience!
The tour begins with an overall panoramic view of the entire archaeological park.
We will pass through a tunnel dug in about 20/25 meters of volcanic materials to reach the ancient beach of Herculaneum, where about 300 people on the run found death and whose skeletons we see today.
Upon entering the city, everything will be a step back into the past, among refined details of Roman houses, shops and spas.

What To Expect

Parco Acheologico di Ercolano

Despite the centuries-old history, therefore, the excavations have brought to light only a part of the ancient city, so that much of the ancient Herculaneum is still buried underground, preserving, among other things, the entire forensic area, the sacred and civil buildings with their precious furnishings and decorative apparatuses.Currently most of the archaeological park that can be visited consists, with the exception of the thermal baths and the gym, of private houses of the imperial age, characterized by a large typological variety: houses with a traditional layout, multi-family houses, large residences that develop part of their neighborhoods in dominant position on the sea and straddling the walls.Entrance ticket to the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum (€ 13 - free under 18 with document)
