The booking went really well, there was no overpriced surcharge. It would have been nice if I had also received a map when I showed my ticket. I didn't see it anywhere myself, but another visitor had one. The excavation site is similar to Pompeii - only smaller and generally less grandiose. The construction and layout of the houses is similar. Easy to traverse in 3 hours. Even on your own, if you want to get a taste of the atmosphere and understand the display boards with explanations in English. If you want more information, you should book a guide.

Audioguide was good. As the ruins are in a pit and no breeze can be felt in there, it felt like being in a frying pan ( I was there in July). Therefore it was good to have a small area with trees and loungers to sit and rest in the shadow. There was also a water tap, but the water probably wasn't potable, so bring your own water. The area to explore is much smaller than Pompeii, so it could fit better to those who are not interested to spend a long time exploring the ruins - in comparison, Pompeii is really huge. Some very well preserved mosaics and wall paintings. Less people than in Pompeii.

Herculaneum was absolutely amazing! Our tickets said that an App based audio tour was included and that we should download it before arrival, but there was no link to it in the information provided. I found an App for Herculaneum for 1.99€ but didn't know if it was genuine. When we arrived at Herculaneum the guy at the ticket office said he didn't know anything about an App but we could pay 10€ for an Audio tour. This needs to be clearer on the tickets. Several other reviews on Headout mention the same issue.

Explore Herculaneum, the world's best-preserved Roman city, with skip-the-line access, featuring the Samnite House, temple of the Augustales, and the Forum.

See the waterfront, where the resting place of over 300 individuals, who perished attempting a sea escape, is solemnly preserved.

Effortless one-way transfers: Naples Porta Nolana to/from Herculaneum Ercolano Scavi by train, with air-conditioned coaches and scenic views.

Don't fret about missed transfers. With connections every 3 hours, reach your destination in just 18 mins.

Fun Fact: The Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum is believed to have housed a substantial library, potentially containing thousands of scrolls.

It was quite straightforward we did not have to queue. Didn't realise we had to download the app though to get the tickets but luckily it wasn't too busy when we arrived and the guy at the entrance was helpful

We visited the two parks in 1 day so that was quite a lot. You see many similarities. I found the arena and amphitheater in Pompei very impressive.Beautifully set up.Another experience richer.

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.
