Guided tours of the Herculaneum Suburban Baths are back, running from October to December 2026.

The Herculaneum Archaeological Park announces the return of guided tours of the Suburban Baths construction site from October to December 2026. While these tours do not yet constitute a permanent reopening, they allow the public to experience the rooms and ongoing conservation efforts up close, pending completion of the work.

Tours will take place every Saturday, with groups limited to a maximum of 15 participants and accompanied by Park staff. The tour requires the use of a protective helmet and access to additional materials via QR code.

"This new series of visits to the Suburban Baths construction site represents an important opportunity to introduce the public to an extraordinary space, still undergoing intense restoration work," said Federica Colaiacomo, Director of the Herculaneum Archaeological Park.
