Let us explore together the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, a UNESCO site and one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. Ancient Herculaneum was buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and is a true place of memory: although less extensive than nearby Pompeii, unlike the latter it still bears most of its urban and civic structure. Houses, doors and bedrooms, workshops and objects of all kinds are still perfectly visible. Walking along the paved streets together with your guide will be a unique experience: you will immerse yourself in the daily life of the ancient Herculaneum civilization. You will enter their houses, with still unchanged the warm colors of the frescoes; you will visit the gymnasium and the baths, where the ancients gathered to talk about everything, even politics and business. You will feel as if you can sense the smells, sounds and colors of the ancient city! The use of wheelchairs must be reported 24 hours before the visit.

The ancient beach: the only waterfront of an almost entirely preserved Roman city.

The terrace of Marco Nonio Baldo: The ancient city of Herculaneum wanted to honor Marcus Nonius Balbo , its most prestigious citizen and patron, with a terrace overlooking the sea at the time.

House of Deer: It is the richest and finest residence so far found within the excavation area, and owes its name to the two marble groups depicting Deer being attacked by dogs

The House of the Wooden Partition: is so named because of the discovery of a folding wooden structure designed to separate the splendid atrium from the tablinum i.e., the homeowner's study.

House of Neptune and Amphitrite: It belonged to a wealthy merchant where there is the beautiful mosaic of Neptune and Amphitrite his companion.

The Samnite House: it is one of the most popular archaeological remains in Herculaneum, as it is considered one of the oldest dwellings on the site

The decumanus maximus is the main street of Roman cities and therefore also of Herculaneum, and for this reason it housed the most prestigious houses on its sides.

The Sacellum of the Augustals is a building from Roman times used for the rites of worship of emperors, tended by augus priests

Casa D'argo: It owes its name to a now-disappeared fresco that decorated the peristyle depicting Argo Panoptes, the giant with a hundred eyes,

boat pavilion: In this unique exhibition site, a charred boat that was found along the beach of Herculaneum during excavations in 1981 is preserved.
