Worth mentioning the obvious: Herculaneum is a tiny village close to Naples buried by the same Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompei.
What makes it interesting is that it is much better preserved than Pompei (although it is smaller).
Fun fact: a big part of the restoration funding in Herculaneum came from David Packard, the "P" in HP computers.
- lostlogin 6y agoI enjoyed visiting Herculaneum more than Pompei as it’s so much more complete. The added bonuses are how few people are there, how compact it is and how great the food is in surrounding streets. We ate pizza in what may or may not have been someone’s front room while the chef argued with a neighbour and a car was stolen off the street in front of us. Very intense, very inexpensive and an excellent day out.
