Both Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, and both sites are in a remarkable state of preservation providing an invaluable testimony to ancient Rome. In the afternoon, you can either return to Naples for a walking tour or continue to Herculaneum to explore the ruins.
