Herculaneum has uneven surfaces, steps and narrow passages; accessibility is limited and many areas are not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.
Casual photography is generally permitted for personal use, but avoid flash in enclosed spaces and respect any signage limiting tripods or professional equipment.
Herculaneum was buried by high-temperature pyroclastic flows from Vesuvius in 79 AD; its rapid burial preserved organic materials that rarely survive in other Roman towns.
Ongoing conservation balances public access with delicate preservation—visitors are asked not to touch frescoes or architectural fragments and to follow designated paths to limit erosion.
