Stop 1
The Roman Quarter can be described without exaggeration as the showpiece of the Roman city of Carnuntum. Meanwhile, four fully functional houses, the large visitor center, the restaurant "Forum Culinarium", a large children's playground and a huge outdoor area with trees and meadows take the visitor on a unique journey into the ancient Roman world, where everyday life can be forgotten for a few hours.
There is a lot to see, the fully functional bathhouse, the "Roman Therme", a stately city palace, the "villa urbana", the bustling house of the oil merchant and the bourgeois "House of Lucius". Experience the water splashing in the thermal bath, admire the fantastic murals in the villa, or stroll through the garden of Lucius.

The Carnuntinum Museum is a must for every visit to Carnuntum, as it houses, among other things, the finds from 2,000 years of Roman history in Carnuntum. The exhibition "Weltstadt am Donaulimes" (Metropolis at the Danube Limes), which covers the history of Carnuntum, the stories of its inhabitants and the UNESCO World Heritage Site at the gates of Vienna, is currently on display.
