Unearth Herculaneum: Skip-the-Line Journey into Ancient Roman Life
180
Overview
Explore Herculaneum with a licensed guide, revealing the remarkably preserved Roman town destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 AD. Skip the line and walk the ancient streets, witnessing unique art and architecture. Discover the stories of the people frozen in time, gaining a deeper understanding of Roman civilization. 
Highlights
Incredible Preservation: Herculaneum was buried in a different way than Pompeii. The pyroclastic flow carbonized organic materials, including wood. This resulted in exceptional preservation of wooden structures, furniture, and even food, giving unique insights into daily Roman life.
Unique Architectural Insights: Explore private homes that offer a more intimate glimpse into the lives of ordinary Romans. Unlike the grand public buildings of Pompeii, Herculaneum’s residences reveal details about domestic life, offering a different perspective on Roman society.
Excavations Still Ongoing: Herculaneum offers a more manageable experience compared to Pompeii. Its smaller size allows for a more focused and less overwhelming visit, enabling you to appreciate the details of the site more fully.
Uncover Roman History: While Pompeii was quickly buried in ash, Herculaneum was entombed in a pyroclastic surge, a superheated avalanche of gas and rock that instantly killed and preserved everything in its path. Herculaneum offers unique insights into the lives of people struck by disaster.
