My experience was beyond my highest expectations. This was a dream destination for me. The degree of preservation there is amazing! I had an injury and struggled to get around easily but it was worth the struggle. I hope I'll be able to return someday to see some of the sights I didn't get to. There's so much to see!!! I loved doing this at my own pace, and having time to linger in areas of particular interest. Thank you to all those hard workers for making my visit and this site so special!

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.

    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.

  • Herculaneum Tickets

    Step into the ancient world of Herculaneum, a town believed to have Greek roots due to its distinctly Greek name. It's not just any town – it traces its origins back to the 6th century BC! 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. Marvel at the temple of the Augustales, an ancient structure that pays homage to the Augustales, a priestly order dedicated to the cult of Emperor Augustus and find frescoes, murals, woodwork, metal artifacts of the Roman era.
