Do you want to visit both Herculaneum and Pompeii with an audio guide on the same day?

Step into the heart of the ancient Roman world with this full-day self-guided experience. Perfect for travellers who want flexibility and independence, this package combines skip-the-line tickets and audio guide to explore both sites.

Witness the dramatic contrasts between the two cities: the bustling streets, villas, and forums of Pompeii, and the astonishingly preserved houses, mosaics, frescoes, and wooden structures of Herculaneum, safeguarded under volcanic material for centuries.

You can choose where to start your day. Travel between the two sites is easy via the local Circumvesuviana train, connecting Pompei Scavi Villa dei Misteri and Ercolano Scavi, usually with a simple change at Torre Annunziata (tickets not included).
