Destinations

Though less well-known than Pompeii, the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum was preserved in a much better state due to the volcanic mud that engulfed it and then set solid. Buildings that were much less damaged by the weight of the falling ash than those in Pompeii were uncovered in an excellent state of preservation and the excavations (only a fraction of what is still to be uncovered) offer a rare insight into the lives of the people who lived here.

Herculaneum

Tickets are skip-the-line and include all tickets and fees, as well as entrance to any exhibitions that may be running at the time of your visit. To be clear, this ticket is for the excavations, remains and exhibits at Herculaneum (Ercolano) and does not cover the remains of Pompeii - click here for Pompeii tickets and tours.
