Explore ruins of Herculaneum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most preserved ancient cities.

Herculaneum was buried under volcanic material after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD but, unlike the nearby site of Pompeii, a lot of the town was preserved: roofs, beds, doors, food, and even skeletons. Walk the cobbled streets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site with an archaeologist and get a glimpse of what life was like before the devastating eruption. Explore intact buildings at your own pace, see well-preserved frescoes, and imagine the daily rituals of those using the shops, public gymnasium and public thermal baths that can still be seen today.
any wheelchair use must be reported 24 hours prior to the tour

    Start the tour from 'the end' of this ancient town: from the seaside. See the place where the bones of ancient inhabitants of Herculaneum still exist. Marvel at artifacts that have kept their original form for almost 2000 years. Visit the Holy terrace. Stroll through the main road with ancient shops, well-preserved houses, Roman Palestra, Decumano, and thermal bath or Roman spa.
