Morning tour of ancient Herculaneum
Two-hour guided walk around the archaeological site
See a well-preserved ancient city

Beskrivning

Like nearby Pompeii, ancient Herculaneum suffered a similar fate at the hands of Vesuvius erupting in 79AD. Fortunately, archaeologists have managed to excavate parts of the city, and this half-day tour will show you what they've managed to unearth so far.

Fossilised in time by the volcanic rock that tragically buried the city, wandering around the archaeological site of Herculaneum is just like stepping through an open-air history book. This bite-size tour will take you to and from the site in just one morning, with enough time to explore the historical relics on a guided walk.

You'll even see preserved pieces of furniture, upper wooden floors of houses, mosaics on the floor and sculptures as you take a peek around the houses and streets. All this has made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and provides you with an unrivalled insight into life of the ancient Romans.

Nat Geo Day Tour: En fördjupad inblick i det antika romerska livet: Oplontis och Pompeji

Vi börjar med en kort biltur till foten av Vesuvius och ruinerna av Pompeji, en antik stad som bevarats av vulkanutbrottet. Vandra längs kullerstensgator till Forum, som en gång var navet i det romerska livet. Följ antika stigar till storslagna utrymmen som Faunens hus med sina rika mosaiker. Sitt på teaterns arena och studera basilikans kolossala pelare. Du kommer också att besöka områden med vardagsliv som bad och tavernor. Ditt sista stopp på denna plats blir Casa della Regina Carolina, ett av den antika stadens största hem som ligger i ett elitkvarter nära Forum. Du får inblick i den pågående forskningen som startades av National Geographic Explorer Caitlin Ellis Barret när du upptäcker huset och de dagliga hushållsaktiviteterna för dess välbärgade invånare. Efter en lätt lunch fortsätter resan till hamnen i Torre Annunziata, där du kommer ner under gatunivån till forntida Oplontis. Området och dess två vidsträckta villor finns med på UNESCO:s världsarvslista och har några av de bäst bevarade väggmålningarna från den romerska perioden. Din specialiserade arkeologiska guide kommer att erbjuda historiska, kulturella och arkitektoniska sammanhang när du tar in Oplontis underverk. Här bodde en gång den romerska eliten och du kan beundra fresker och mosaiker i pompejansk stil, målade i djupa azurfärger, apelsiner och soliga guldfärger. Den invecklade användningen av färg och skuggning ger dessa målningar en tredimensionell känsla och ger en verklighetstrogen kvalitet till dessa antika scener.

Herculaneum and Vesuvius Tour with Local Lunch

Wandering around the archaeological site of Herculaneum is just like stepping through an open-air history book. On this tour, you'll visit what remains of this once-thriving seaside town, as well as see Mt Vesuvius – the architect of its destruction. Andrea, one of our local experts, says, 'Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum's deeper burial under volcanic mud resulted in an astounding level of preservation. It's a quieter, more intimate experience'.After Vesuvius's dramatic 79 AD eruption, Herculaneum became a town frozen in time. Now resurrected from its volcanic slumber, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is brimming with stories untold. On a guided tour with trusty headsets, you'll see the haunting boathouses – the sombre final chapters of desperate refugees – and the town's beautifully preserved marble floors, mosaics, and vibrant frescoes. Andrea says, 'Like many Roman towns, Herculaneum had a complex of public baths, which were a hub of daily life. These baths are particularly well-preserved and showcase the complex heating systems and detailed mosaics that adorned their walls and floors'.Lunch will be at a friendly, local restaurant, serving up Italian classics. You'll then head up the mighty Mount Vesuvius – the only active volcano in mainland Europe. With its eye-catching panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and Naples, it's well worth the trip. The surrounding terrain, sculpted by past eruptions, only adds to the jaw-dropping scenery.
