Excavations of Herculaneum. Tour guide and skip-the-line ticket
Overview
Herculaneum is a place of memory, a town can be appreciated for its urban structure, its civilization, its popular and human nature. Despite being considered secondary to Pompeii, it deserves to be admired and known as it offers a further perspective to the civilization that for centuries remained buried under the fury of Vesuvius.
Archaeological excavations have brought back unique testimonies from the artistic and architectural point of view, and to walk along those streets intact since 79 AD will revive the restlessness and the fascination of the stories of men and women to which the volcano has not given any chance.
Let yourself be accompanied to discover these places, hidden for centuries from the eyes o the world that today can appreciate their beauty. And from the ruins re-emerged from the lava, it will be simple and at the same time wonderful to bring back the spendor that was.
