Highlights
The ancient Roman city of Herculaneum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the slopes of Vesuvius. Smaller but no less important, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius 79 d.c. Numerous objects found during the excavations allow us to reconstruct what was the relationship of the inhabitants with the gods venerated in antiquity. Naturally a prominent place was reserved for the mythical Hercules, the hero who according to tradition had founded the city of Herculaneum. You have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the daily life of the population of Herculaneum through the scattered ruins that have been perfectly preserved. Together with your guide you will have the opportunity to visit many of the most important sites such as the public baths with their frescoes and mosaics, shops and the gym.
• Explore the ruins of Herculaneum for 1.5 hrs with a local expert archaeological guide
• Semi-private coach with air conditioning
• Entrance reserved for Ercolano
• Wine tasting and lunch with local products
