What you can expect

Explore the ruins of Herculaneum on a guided tour with an archaeologist guide. Stroll through one of the best-preserved Roman cities and discover buildings like the Temple of the Augustales and the House of Neptune

Benefit from skip-the-line entry and discover the ruins of this former bustling port town, home to wealthy merchants and nobility, whose lives ended dramatically fast with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago. Learn about life in this city, and the blast that destroyed it.

See the waterfront, where the remains of more than 300 people lie, who died trying to escape by taking to the ocean. Explore the Samnite house, the thermal baths, the Temple of the Augustales, and the Forum.

Discover the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, and the Gymnasium and see well-preserved stone, marble, and ceramics that survived the eruption, but also carbonized wood, paintings, and mosaics.
