About Herculaneum
Herculaneum sits directly beneath Vesuvius, which means the volcano's black lava fields, pine woods and crater rim are practically your backyard. You can climb with a volcanological guide on the Vesuvius 3-Hour Trekking Tour with Volcanological Guide, rated 4.7, or walk the wild, eroded gullies of the Guided Hike Through the Hell Valley in Vesuvius National Park for a quieter, more rugged side of the park.

Frequently asked questions
Herculaneum is the closest gateway to Vesuvius National Park, so you are not travelling far to reach real volcanic terrain. Trails cross old lava flows, broom scrub and pine woodland, and the crater rim gives you sweeping views over the Bay of Naples. Guided hikes add volcanology and geology context you would miss walking alone.
