FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5An unforgettable experience for both us and our son. The heat was tempered by a gentle breeze and the fountains lining Via dell'Abbondanza. One visit isn't enough—we'll gladly return!BBreitenmoser P
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Back in Pompeii after 42 years. A lot has changed. The ruins have been restored and continue to be restored. On that very hot summer day, we were able to relax at the rooftop restaurant.BBranislav S
SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Great experience, entry in site without waiting and got full experience of Herculaneum. Herculaneum is so beautifull place, The villas in Herculaneum are very well preserved and give us an excellent picture of the life of the ancient rich inhabitants of the Roman Empire. Herculaneum is much smaller than Pompeii, which was a trading city, while Herculaneum was a resting place for the rich. I like it a lot because it is smaller than Pompeii and it seems to me that there are many more original Roman paintings on the walls of the houses, as well as original prayer altars in the villas of the rich. All in all, I recommend that visitors, in addition to Pompeii, also visit Herculaneum in order to get a complete picture of the life of both ordinary people and the rich inhabitants of ancient Rome. My visit to Herculaneum is a great life experience that I will never forget and I can freely recommend it to anyone who is nearby. Entering and staying in the locality of Herculaneum is very easy, fast and pleasant!DDomenico B
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5I visited the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, and I have to say it was an indescribable experience. I didn’t expect such a vast and well-preserved city; it really feels like stepping back in time 2,000 years. Walking through the original streets, entering the houses, the baths, and the Forum is something that leaves you speechless. You can sense the daily life of the Romans in every detail, from the frescoes and mosaics to the inscriptions on the walls. The site is enormous, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and setting aside at least 4–5 hours. I found everything very well organized, with clear maps and extremely kind and helpful staff. The most moving moment was seeing the casts of the victims and the Amphitheater. It’s an experience I recommend to everyone—Italians and foreigners alike—at least once in a lifetime. A heritage site unlike any other in the world. I’ll definitely be back to see the newly reopened domus!MMortier V
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5We were able to enter the site quickly without having to wait in line, even though we arrived half an hour early. The site is very large, and we walked around for 5 hours. In some places, we had breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius, and we were able to admire the beautiful frescoes still visible on some of the walls. The museum is also interesting because it displays artifacts and statues discovered on the site. We saved it for last; it isn’t very big, and you can see it all in half an hour.
Explore both Herculaneum and Pompeii with priority entry. Get a double dose of history in one convenient combo.
