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.

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.

Easy to book, safe on the App and able to be saved as a screenshot. Open ticket for the whole day chosen so no pressure to get to venue at a specific time. Did get directed by staff direct to the entrance. Not sure there was much of a Queue but convenient. Amazing experience actually visiting Herculaneum. Not to be missed when visiting area. Direct local stopping train from Garibaldi rail station in Naples. Very cheap return ticket and regular service. From station straight down the road to entrance bit of a hill on the way back up. Definitely recommend at least 3/4 hrs to visit.

  • Herculaneum

    Herculaneum, believed to have Greek origins due to its strongly Greek name, traces its history back to the 6th century BC. Unlike Pompeii, it's smaller, less crowded, and exceptionally well-preserved, offering a unique glimpse into life in the first century. Upon bypassing lengthy ticket lines with skip-the-line access, explore various well-preserved features of the ancient Greco-Roman town, including intact upper floors of houses, a majestic basilica, marble bathhouses, and a large spa complex. Additionally, the site boasts an array of frescoes, murals, paintings, woodwork, and metal artifacts.

    Naples Archaeological Museum

    For history enthusiasts or those captivated by the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, a visit to the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli is a must! Marvel at an exceptional mosaic depicting Alexander the Great's triumph over the Persians, immerse yourself in the beauty of Pompeian wall paintings, and admire classical sculptures such as the Farnese Bull and Atlas. Delve into the museum's most intriguing section, the Secret Cabinet, where a collection of erotic artifacts awaits, gathered from Pompeii's bars, brothels, and homes. From provocative frescoes to an intriguing assortment of phallic lucky charms, this exhibit offers a unique glimpse into ancient Roman sensuality and culture.
