Q Why is Herculaneum not as famous as Pompeii?
Pompeii is larger and better known. Herculaneum is smaller but also well-preserved and less crowded. Pompeii is easier to visit than Herculaneum.
It's closer to Naples and has better transportation options, making it more accessible for tourists. Herculaneum is a bit further away and harder to reach.
Pompeii's excavation began in the 18th century, which quickly sparked public interest and established it as a major archaeological site. Herculaneum, however, wasn't fully excavated until the 20th century, so it hasn't had as much time to become as well-known or popular.
Q What's the best way to get to Mount Vesuvius?
Most tours handle transportation. If going solo, take a bus or train from Ercolano or Pompeii stations, both near Vesuvius.
