Well-preserved Roman houses, streets, frescoes and mosaics at Herculaneum offer intimate architectural and detail-rich shots. Visit early morning or late afternoon for soft directional light and fewer visitors; weekdays are quieter. The site has ticketed entry and timed slots—book ahead. Surfaces are uneven; wear sturdy shoes. Limited parking nearby; public transit from Napoli recommended. Cultural context: an exquisite complement to Pompeii with more intact upper-floor details and organic finds
