Herculaneum & the Archeological Museum of Naples Private Tour

Rome represents the starting point but also the end of the tour , because there will be 2 hours of driving time to get in Herculanum, and then 2 hours to come back from Naples to your accomodation

Siruated on a volcanic plateau, sheer over the sea, Herculaneum, like the other cities of Vesuvius was submerged by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which buried it beneath a layer of debris measuring up to twenty-three meters in height. The excavations offer the visitor the possibility to observe the urban fabric, the distribution of houses, the magnificent baths complex, and the monumental basilica. The perfect state of preservation of wood elements, bronze artifacts and, especially, of the facades of houses, offers a complete picture of residential housing, which enables the reconstruction of everyday life, the style of living, and the various styles of Vesuvius paintings.

“Vedi Napoli, e poi muori”. In other words, before you die, you must experience the beauty and magnificence of Naples. The Archeological Museum of Naples has a breathtaking collection of Roman statues and this extraordinary museum is arguably one of the best not just in Italy, but in Europe. Here you’ll find gargantuan Roman statues such as the Farnese Bull, as well as some exquisite mosaics and frescoes from Pompeii and Herculaneum. For anyone interested in Roman art, it’s unmissable.
