Recreated Roman Town in Austria!
From the 1st to the 4th century AD, Carnuntum was a significant Roman metropolis on the border of the Roman Empire. Carnuntum became the capital of the province of Pannonia Superior with about 50,000 inhabitants, making it one of the biggest cities in the northern Empire. Because of its militarily vital location for securing the border and its proximity to key trade routes Carnuntum blossomed. Our goal is to vividly present the history and basic scientific research associated with the Roman City of Carnuntum. Antiquity comes alive again in the Roman city quarter with its reconstructed ancient buildings as well as in the amphitheaters and Museum Carnuntinum, the city’s treasure chamber.

Fantastic recreation of a Roman city
You probably have been to history museums before - here you can walk through a number of re-created Roman houses and public buildings. You really feel 1600 years younger. Total immersion. Not to be missed, you will discover facts you never knew before.

A creative insight into Roman life.
This Roman city archaeological park is excellent, very reasonably priced & well worth a visit. It's only 45 minutes outside of Vienna & provides a welcome break from Vienna's buzz. The excavations are mixed with historically accurate (as much as they can be) reconstructions & give a wonderful insight into life in Roman times. The park is spacious with open grass areas & trees for shade & also has a reasonably good cafe. We visited this Coronavirus summer so attendance was down I'm guessing but we appreciated the space. I'm guessing during school term it may be busier with school groups. The ticket also includes the museum & gladiator school.
