Herculaneum: Entry Ticket

Witness history at the foot of Mount Vesuvius

If big-budget sword-and-sandal flick _Pompeii_ got you hot and flustered, prepare for Herculaneum - an ancient Roman town that has, most unfairly, been overshadowed by Pompeii's fame. Herculaneum is, in fact, more interesting, better preserved and far easier to navigate. See clothing, mosaics, and frescoes in their near-perfect Roman glory and imagine life before Vesuvius's eruption in 79 AD.
