2-hour guided tour
Our itinerary will start right from Herculaneum, a city buried by the lava flow during the famous eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The architectural structures have been preserved to such an extent that the frescoes, mosaics and decorations reveal refined and timeless taste. We will complete the visit to Herculaneum with the Antiquarium. Here we will admire the famous Roman ship recovered on the coast of the city, as well as the jewels and furnishings that emerged from the excavations. The highlights of the site include the Hall of the Augustals with its marble floor and wall paintings, the elegantly decorated Thermal Baths and the Palestra, a monumental sports arena used for competitions and training.
