Hello!

I'm Luca, I live in Herculaneum and if you are reading this post, probably it's because you would like to know more about this old roman village or maybe you're planning to come here and spend your holidays.

Well, be sure you've founded a friend and you are welcome!

If you need informations about the old and the modern city, the opportunities that you have to move around the Vesuvio and around the Vesuvian Coast, it will be a pleasure to answer you.

Ercolano it's a perfect city because you're in the middle: between Naples by one side and Pompei - Sorrento by the other one. All these cities are well connected thanks to the Circumvesuviana, a local train.

From Central Station of Naples - Napoli Garibaldi -  you can easily take a train for Sorrento or Poggiomarino, stopping to Ercolano Scavi Station.

Follow me for the next post.
Waiting for your questions!
