One of the coolest places in all of Budapest. This is an excavated Roman city where Marcus Aurelius wrote portions of Meditations. There is a lot of information provided giving an overview of what functions the respective areas had, and it was just amazing to be able to walk through a city that was lived in by the Romans. Don't forget to look at the various busts and monuments that are along the back wall. It's also very easy to get here via public transit. A must see!

Good place to visit if you enjoy Roman ruins. The major con is that it's a little bit farm from the city center and there is nothing interesting to see in the surroundings. The archaeological remains are beautiful and interesting. There is a lot of information about the Roman settlement and about the way people live in Roman times. Moreover, every July there is a interesting Roman event with kid activities where you can wear like a gladiator and practice Roman sports.

I spent a lovely few hours here exploring this 1st Century Roman Site. It extends across a large area but the information contained boards around the site (Hungarian & English) are very helpful in detailing the ruins and recreating an image of what the buildings would have looked like in Roman times. The main indoor museum has impressive collection of household objects, pottery etc. Don't miss the two other buildings, Painter's House and Mithraeum. The Painter's House is a Seven Room recreation, fully furnished, of what a Roman House might look like in the 3rd Century.

The place is definitely worth visiting if you're into Roman history. The temple of Mithras and the museum exhibitions were most noteable, in my humble opinion. The only downside worth sharing is that beside the tickets lady no one else spoke English, so I had to rely solely on written descriptions.

The Roman ruins, the excavation of which was the largest archaeological operation in Hungary. The whole ruins is very grand and huge, and I only had a rough view after visiting for two hours. Even if you are not interested in archaeology, you can visit here on a sunny day, just go around and it is worthy.
