Herculaneum Ruins Walking Tour
Meet your Italian guide at the ticket office of the Herculaneum ruins.
Visit Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town. Highlights here include the waterfront, where more than 300 remains were found, Marina Gate, the terrace of Marcus Nonius Balbus, the Samnite House, thermal baths, the Forum, the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, the Gymnasium, the Northern Cardo (a road oriented north-south), the House of the Skeleton, the Thermopolium, the Temple of Augustales, the House of the Black Saloon, the House of Bel Cortile, the House of the Wooden Partition, and a local bakery. Herculaneum is one of the few ancient cities to have been preserved more or less intact, with no later accretions or modifications. Like its sister city, Pompeii, Herculaneum is famous for having been buried in lava and ash.
At the end of the tour, bid your Italian guide farewell and spend the rest of the day as you wish.
