Naples to visit Herculaneum
 

We will be in Naples and would like to take a side trip to Herculaneum. I can't find a train that goes there. Can anyone help with some info? Thanks in advance.

You want the Circumvesuviana. Check out this site for timetables: www.massalubrense.it/circum.htm

Ercolano is the stop.

Yes, the Circumvesuviana (the same line that goes to the Pompeii ruins) stops at Herculaneum. Its a 10 or so minute walk to the ruins from the station.

Thank you so much - I couldn't have planned this trip without the help of this site!

It's a Rome to Pompeii daytrip directions but it should help.
