Herculaneum sits at the foot of Vesuvius, and the volcano is the reason the town survives as an archaeological site. A day that includes both is realistic because Tiqets sells a Vesuvius ticket with a Vesuvio Express round trip from Ercolano. We keep the Vesuvius side general: we did not verify details such as hours, paths or weather rules, so check them with the Vesuvius National Park and on Tiqets before you go.

- Vesuvius: entry plus round trip from Ercolano with the Vesuvio Express, listed on Tiqets as a 3-hour experience. You can see it on the cards on this page.
- Pompeii and Herculaneum with a guided tour and fast-track ticket, if you prefer the two ancient towns.
- For Herculaneum itself: the official ticket or an entry ticket with an audio guide.
These are third-party products from our partner Tiqets, so read each one for inclusions and times.
How to plan the day
- Start at Herculaneum. It opens at 8:30. In winter the last entry is 15:30 and the park closes at 17:00; in summer the last entry is 18:00.
- Pick your Vesuvius slot from the Tiqets product and check its meeting point and time.
- Keep a margin for the return trip, and remember that the train to Naples leaves from Ercolano Scavi. See the getting there guide.
