Itinerary Details
After lunch in a local trattoria, we will set out for Herculaneum, located just nearby. Although less well-known then its neighbor, Pompeii, Herculaneum was discovered first and excavated a few years before the larger city. While smaller than Pompeii, Herculaneum holds clues to ancient life among the wealthier classes and helps to complete our understanding of ancient life.
