Well-preserved Roman town buried by Vesuvius — photograph narrow decumanus streets, frescoed villas, baths, mosaics and the poignant plaster casts of victims. Best visited early weekday mornings for soft light and fewer crowds; late afternoon gives warm side-lighting on walls. Tickets required (book ahead); site is uneven with steps and cobbles so carry minimal gear. No drone use; parking and train access available in modern Ercolano, short walk from the station.
