My experience was that there were far fewer tourists at Herculaneum, which made for a better experience.<BR><BR>And more to your question, I found Herculaneum to be more intact then most of Pompeii, which gave me a better understanding of how the people lived.<BR><BR>But whichever you choose, try to also get to Oplontis, which has colorful wall paintings in wonderful condition. It's near both Pompeii and Herculaneum; just a short walk from the Torre Annunziata stop on the Circumvesuviana line.
