[…] After lunch we then visited Herculaneum, a much smaller town which again was covered by ash when Vesuvius erupted in AD79. I personally thought this site was better preserved than Pompeii and liked that it was smaller so you could see everything. A visit to Herculaneum is well worth it, and you can find more detail here.

Herculaneum is definitely well worth a visit, though you can’t miss Pompeii if limited for time as it’s so famous! Ah no, you didn’t, but thank you so much for the nomination 🙂 I have already done it so will politely decline but really appreciate you thinking of me. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Friday.

I’ll have to do Herculaneum the next time I’m there. I did Pompeii. On a different note, I can’t remember if I told you I nominated you for the travel photo challenge. Forgive me if we already chatted about it.

Thanks so much Juliette, I really appreciate your kind words! That is so true, you can’t help but imagine people’s stories and how they lived. It’s such an interesting place to visit – I can’t wait to get back to exploring again 🙂

Yes Pompeii is definitely too famous to miss, though Herculaneum is such a lesser known gem. I loved it (and the much reduced crowds!). Oh to be in Italy right now! Have a great day Marie 🙂

It’s definitely worth a visit so I hope you get to visit one day 🙂 I can’t wait for lockdown to be over and to be able to explore again!

Amazing blog post, and super informative! I remember going to Pompeii when I was a kid and I loved discovering the place. When you are there you actually feel so close to the people that used to live there as you see that we are not that different. I especially loved the food bars – I would have loved to see how it was back then! 😊 Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been lucky enough to have visited both – (both at the height of summer and Pompeii more than once). I agree that Herculaneum is much better preserved and more interesting but if tied for time and have to choose then I’d say you can’t really miss Pompeii. I’d forgotten that there was so much colour there….. and those mosaics … fabulous….
