What travellers say
The experience is nothing short of magical. An absolute must-do if you’re a Potterhead, and just as enjoyable even if you’re not. The $10 retail voucher when you purchase via Pelago is an added bonus, so that you can enjoy a refreshing glass of Butterbeer at the end of all that walking.
The e-tickets worked seamlessly, and entry was smooth without long queues. Highly recommend purchasing tickets online for a hassle-free experience!
It is an awesome trip. My kids love it so much. Looking forward to visit this place for the second time. Hope to see more discount from Pelago.

Frequently asked questions
About Ercolano
Ercolano, also known as Herculaneum, is an ancient Roman town located in the Campania region of Italy. It is situated at the foot of Mount Vesuvius and is famous for being buried by the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii. The currency used in Italy is the Euro. Ercolano offers visitors a unique glimpse into Roman life with well-preserved ruins, colorful frescoes, and ancient artifacts. The town is smaller and less crowded than Pompeii, making it a more intimate archaeological site to explore.
When to visit
The best time to visit Ercolano is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer can be extremely hot and crowded with tourists, while winter can be rainy and chilly. It is recommended to avoid visiting during the peak summer months of July and August to enjoy a more comfortable experience.
Getting around
Ercolano is a compact town that can easily be explored on foot. The archaeological site is within walking distance from the train station and other attractions. Local buses and taxis are also available for those who prefer not to walk. Renting a car is not necessary within Ercolano, but it can be convenient for exploring the surrounding areas such as Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
Traveller tips
Wear comfortable walking shoes as you will be exploring ancient ruins and uneven terrain. Be sure to carry plenty of water and sunscreen, especially during the summer months. Consider hiring a guide to learn more about the history and significance of the archaeological site. Visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and the heat. Don't forget to try the local cuisine at one of the charming restaurants in Ercolano.
