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.

We wanted to see the Pompeii artifacts since we were going to see Pompeii. We were all impressed with the amount of artifacts and the museum.

Entering the ruins with the on-line purchased tickets was quick, easy, and smooth.
Ruins were awesome, as they were on our first visit in 2017.

It wasn't crowded. We could amble through and explore all Herculaneum had to offer.

We took a private guide who showed us the main works from the herculanum and pompei. We really appreciated her explanations and presentation.

Herculaneum was a great site to visit as it was easier to get around and a lot smaller than Pompeii. A lot of wall paintings and mosaics were visible and it was very informative. I was worried about timings with our Headout tickets but it was fine you could enter anytime between 8.30 am and 3.30 pm. We didn't get there until about 11.00 and it was all good.

A beautiful site where we had a great time. On the other hand, there were a lot of school groups, so the queue-cutting ticket wasn't really useful.

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...

The quality of the exhibits in the museum are beyond compare - particularly the Roman antiquated, the reconstruction of walks and floors from Pompeii and environs.

The exhibit was very impressive. I particularly loved the everyday objects from Pompeii. We were planning a visit to Pompeii the following week so this exhibit gave us all some appreciation for what we would see. The displays were well received explained and accessible for easy viewing

Visiting was easy once I arrived. There was clear direction as to which line to go into.
The site was awesome and easy to navigate.

More tranquil than Pompeii. We loved the garden where you can take a break on a deckchair under the pomegranate trees. It's so simple, but so good!

It was very easy and fast to enter and staff at Herculaneum was very helpful - lockers were too small for our suitcases but they stored them in the back room(they were marked with numbers). The site is interesting, it took us couple of hours to explore, and the cats are friendly,too!

I was glad I had purchased our tickets ahead of time. We walked right in. When we came out, there was a huge line waiting. The museum has an amazing amount of artifacts from Pompeii and Herculean. A must not miss while in Naples!
