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.

I was genuinely shocked by how many artifacts from Pompei made it through. The museum has an EXPANSIVE collection. If you're someone that likes to read the signs and get as much as you can out of your visit, I'd say to allot 5 hours, at least. I focused on the artifacts relating to Vesuvius, and then glossed over the other parts of the museum, and it still took a sold 5 hours. Take aways that were different than I had expected- there are no casts of the victims at this museum (and if there are, I somehow missed them, and I would be so bummed!) But what I got was a comprehensive overview of what life may have been like there. Any disappointment to not have seen the figures (victims) I'd initially anticipated seeing was replaced by an appreciation for how much more I know now about the life and culture of the cities affected by Mt. Vesuvius. When I go to Pompei tomorrow, I know that everything I saw today will make the ruins "come to life" and be a much more textural experience, rather than just seeing ruins and trying to take a guess at what life may have looked and felt like. Aside from the impressive collection, the museum itself is a gorgeous building to be in- I didn't have a map, but it's sort of shaped like capital "I" and the halls that adjoin the wings on both ends are just stunning. There is a cafe, a lounge, and plenty of other opportunities for giving your feet, back, or brain a rest- including two gardens. I highly recommend this museum. The staff were all incredibly pleasant and helpful. (Tip: The bathrooms are on the bottom floor)Lauren

I went to visit the excavations of Herculaneum during the Easter holidays, so very busy with tourists...having a skip-the-line ticket allowed me to save time and be able to enjoy this beautiful experience without the stress of the queue...
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.
