They were both pretty similar as they were both covered at the same time and by the same eruption in 79 CE. However, for some reason some wooden objects such as doors and furniture have been preserved exceptionally well in the town of Herculaneum compared to that of Pompeii.

It is a visited place because when you stand so far up the volcano you can see the old town of Pompeii!Also, When tourists come to visit the ruins of Pompeii, they are brought back in time; specifically to 79 AD, the time when Mount Vesuvius let out all of its pent-up energy and unleashed it unto the unsuspecting inhabitants of Pompeii below it. Everything happened so quickly, that the entire town-city and everything within it were "efficiently" buried and rendered devoid of air and moisture -- two requirements for deterioration.Hence, when it was excavated, Pompeii revealed a treasure trove of ancient historical information.
