A visit to the excavated remains of the Roman settlement of Aquincum on the river Danube in Óbuda. Aquincum first served as a military base on the Limes, and a Roman legion was stationed here by the year 89 AD. Aquincum developed into a local trading centre and the civil city gradually emerged next to the military settlement. It became the major Roman centre in modern-day Hungary and was made the capital of the province of Lower Pannonia at the start of the second century AD. The museum at the site tells about Budapest's Roman history and has many excavated objects on display.
