The video includes the following highlights: original wall paintings, houses, mosaics, frescoes, streets of Herculaneum, ruins, Casa di Nettuno e Anfitrite (House of Neptune and Amphitrite), Bottega del Lanarius (Lanarius Shop), Sede degli Augustali (Hall of the Augustals), Bottega ad Cucumas (Cucumas shop), Casa dell'Atrio a Mosaico (House of the Mosaic Atrium), Terrazza di M. Nonio Balbo (Terrace of M. Nonius Balbus), views of Mount (Volcano) Vesuvius.
As always thank you for watching and for your great comments!

SwissTravelChannel is a RUclips channel of my holiday’s trips videos, taken all around the world since 2008. Some are for pure tourism and others are more of an adventure. The videos usually show the top best tourist attractions, the top things to do and top places to see. The goal is to inspire others on their next vacations. The videos can also be seen as a guide to have an idea of the main highlights and places to explore. I love to take pictures of the nature, traditions and different cultures, to search the must-see spots and show the essentials in my videos, for this reason I always try to create the perfect vacation. Traveling is more than a hobby for me, is a way of life.

HERCULANEUM (source Wikipedia):
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum (Italian: Ercolano) was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. Its ruins are located in the comune of Ercolano, Campania, Italy.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in much of its original splendour, as well as for having been lost, along with Pompeii, Stabiae, Oplontis and Boscoreale, in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that buried it. Unlike Pompeii, the deep pyroclastic material which covered it preserved wooden and other organic-based objects such as roofs, beds, doors, food and even some 300 skeletons which were discovered in recent years along the seashore. It had been thought until then that the town had been evacuated by the inhabitants.
Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, possessing an extraordinary density of fine houses with, for example, far more lavish use of coloured marble cladding.
The catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius occurred on the afternoon of 24 August AD 79. Because Vesuvius had been dormant for approximately 800 years, it was no longer even recognized as a volcano. Based on archaeological excavations and on two letters of Pliny the Younger to the Roman historian Tacitus, the course of the eruption can be reconstructed.
At around 1pm on 24 August, Vesuvius began spewing volcanic ash and stone thousands of meters into the sky. When it reached the tropopause (the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere), the top of the cloud flattened, prompting Pliny to describe it to Tacitus as a Stone Pine tree. The prevailing winds at the time blew toward the southeast, causing the volcanic material to fall primarily on the city of Pompeii and the surrounding area. Since Herculaneum lay to the west of Vesuvius, it was only mildly affected by the first phase of the eruption. While roofs in Pompeii collapsed under the weight of falling debris, only a few centimetres of ash fell on Herculaneum, causing little damage but nonetheless prompting most inhabitants to flee.
During the following night, the eruptive column which had risen into the stratosphere collapsed onto Vesuvius and its flanks. The first pyroclastic surge, formed by a mixture of ash and hot gases, billowed through the mostly evacuated town of Herculaneum at 160 km/h (100 mph). A succession of six flows and surges buried the city's buildings, causing little damage in some areas and preserving structures, objects and victims almost intact. However, in other areas there was significant damage, knocking down walls, tearing away columns and other large objects; a marble statue of M. Nonius Balbus near the baths was blown 15 m away and a carbonised skeleton was found lifted 2.5 m above ground level in the garden of the House of the Telephus Relief.
Recent multidisciplinary research on the lethal effects of the pyroclastic surges in the Vesuvius area showed that in the vicinity of Pompeii and Herculaneum, heat was the main cause of the death of people who had previously been thought to have died by ash suffocation.

Très beau merci.
Many thanks for commenting the video! Much appreciated. Swiss Travel Channel
OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm always happy to read your great comments :)) Thanks very much ;)
We would love to visit the South of Italy again (still I have to upload the videos of some 7-10 cities that are pending ...). It was really beautiful visit and meet so many kind and gentle people.
Nice 👏
True, they had some remarkable skills back then.. If you have visited Pompeii maybe next time you can enjoy Herculaneum, also worth a visit :)
Excelent history!!
Many thanks for commenting the video! Much appreciated. Swiss Travel Channel
Schön gemacht, danke !
M oni Hana Vielen dank!
Very nice video, very well depicted the decorations of the houses, what of a kind of artists they had at that time, who made these wonderful murals, which fortunately escaped destruction. We visited Pompeii in February 2012, it was covered by about 7 meters of ashes and melted rocks!. Through the work of recovery that they made, it is now possible to imagine how they lived at that time. Best regards. Horacio
Was a short visit.. but its true, its not very big compared to Pompeii.. but its better preserved. Yea i enjoyed :)
What must it have been like..
