Mount Vesuvius and Herculaneum Day Trip in Naples, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
The journey from Pompeii to Herculaneum is a scenic one with Mount Vesuvius to one side and the Bay of Naples to the other. It only took us 20 minutes to get there by train, so if you’re looking for a day trip, it doesn’t get much easier than this one. Just maybe don’t get off in the outskirts of town like we did, but more on that later.
Vesuvio's Express is a shuttle service that runs to the top of the volcano, so if you’re expecting a guided tour filled with lots of interesting facts, this isn’t it.
That being said, we were perfectly happy to tour the site on our own, and we couldn’t beat the price at 20 Euros per person.
The only problem we encountered was that the roads were completely iced over the further we went up the mountain, and at one point the bus just had to give up and let all the passengers off to go the rest of the way on foot.
Things got a little easier once we swapped icy paved roads for a dirt trail, though we also had snow to contend with, but we eventually reached the top. I would say one of the coolest things about hiking up to Mount Vesuvius was being able to see that it’s a volcano within a volcano, and while there was no bubbling lava visible to the eye, we could see steam rising from several vents.
Our next stop after lunch were the ruins of Herculaneum, an ancient Roman town that was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius. While Pompeii was covered in ash, Herculaneum was hit by the pyroclastic flow that followed the explosion of 79 AD, which also led to its preservation.
What at first glance appears to be a moat, is Herculaneum’s ancient shoreline. Here we were met with the aftermath of the explosion: a row of old boat houses, each of them filled with the skeleton remains of those who did not escape during the first day of the eruption.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Pompei – Private Houses – Naples – Audio Guide – MyWoWo Travel App
Before you begin touring Pompeii, let me tell you a little bit about the typical Pompeiian family home: it included sections that were almost entirely covered, called atriums, and others that were almost entirely uncovered, called peristyles; between the atrium and the peristyle was the family's most sacred area, known as the tablinum, which was the room where guests were welcomed.
Your tour begins with the so-called House of the Faun, where you'll find a beautiful mosaic inscription for guests at the entrance. This domus had two atriums: one to the left for the main part, the other to the right with four columns in the center and a separate entrance for the private part of the palace. There were also two peristyles with gardens: the part which collected the water in the main atrium was richly decorated with marble inlays and with the beautiful Faun statue that gave the domus its name. The noblest room in this wealthy home was called an exedra, and contained a precious floor mosaic representing the Battle of Alexander the Great against Darius; today you can admire the mosaic at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.
From the House of the Faun, move on to the House of the Vettii, which is named after the family that owned it. Get ready to enjoy its sophisticated pictorial decorations, with architectural motifs and delightful scenes depicting games and sports competitions.
In the so-called House of Menandro you'll see a lot of paintings that draw inspiration from theatrical scenes. One of the owners was related to Nero's wife, Poppaea, and she was certainly a theater enthusiast; in fact, in one room he had a portrait made of the famous Greek playwright Menandro, who can be recognized by the name written on the hem of his clothes and by the roll in his hand…
