What to expect

Explore Herculaneum with cutting-edge Augmented Reality technology. Over the ruins, you can admire the reconstructions of buildings and interior environments.

Herculaneum is an ancient Roman town located in the Campania region of Italy. Along with Pompeii, it was one of the cities that were buried under volcanic ash and preserved by the catastrophic Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Exploring Herculaneum is a unique opportunity to witness the remarkable preservation of an ancient Roman town. You can walk into the daily life, art, and architecture of that period. Visit the archaeological site with the support of a tour assistant who will accompany you during your visit. Get to see the ruins rebuilt with AR glasses and listen to the story in your language.
