Having visited Pompeii a few days before we decided to do without a guide this time and just explore Herculaneum ourselves. It was so much more peaceful than Pompeii and the completeness of the buildings is amazing. You can really see what a beautiful place it would have been to live. We really enjoyed our visit here. Prebooking the ticket meant we just strolled straight in, which was great.

These tickets were a dream. I bought them online the night before, the tickets allowed us to enter Herculaneum at any point during the day. We arrived around 11.30am and we were straight through, no queues or waiting. I loved Herculaneum, it's so well preserved and is much smaller than Pompeii so is not as overwhelming. It is at the bottom of a hill so please be aware if you need to get back to the train station for a set time, it's quite a walk!

It was an incredibly beautiful day. Admission was uncomplicated and quick. There are several toilets and the small museum is great.

Herculaneum is a place that makes an impression and stimulates the imagination. Not so long ago, all these buildings were located several meters underground. Today, they allow us to see with our own eyes what this ancient city really looked like. Most of the buildings presented here have been preserved in such good condition that walking the streets of Herculaneum, you can feel like you are in a real city where life still goes on. I will remember my time spent in Herculaneum for a very long time. Buying tickets via Headout allowed direct entry to the archaeological park.

The best sightseeing with phenomenal insights into the life of the ancient Romans. Hidden under several meters of volcanic ash and lava, Hercaluneum was excavated. It was even closer to the volcanic eruption that engulfed Pompeii. Here you are allowed closer to the excavation and the site is not very extensive. Nevertheless, the frescoes and mosaics are more beautiful than in Pompeii. Nevertheless, a visit to Pompeii is also very interesting. The cost is around 14 euros for adults.

Step into the ancient world of Herculaneum, a town believed to have Greek roots due to its distinctly Greek name. It's not just any town – it traces its origins back to the 6th century BC! Forget the hustle and bustle of Pompeii; Herculaneum is like a hidden gem, smaller, less crowded, and remarkably preserved.’
Bypass the long lines and wander through the ancient streets, where you'll come across houses with intact upper floors, a grand basilica, marble bathhouses, a sprawling spa complex, and various other architectural wonders from the Greco-Roman era.
