Excellent, very well maintained, historical/educational site. Easy, pleasant trip from downtown Budapest even if you use mass transportation. (Actually, these days it's highly recommended to use mass transportation over cars in Budapest.) Most of the ancient roman remains are in surprisingly good shape. Well organized, the info system is good enough. Allow yourself at least 3-4 hours to properly explore the area. Well worth it. After your visit this section of Budapest has great selection of restaurants. Have fun.

Its excavated by only a very small part, but its stuning. Sadly its not very well looked after and vandals had their share of fun here, but its still nice to see. You cant leave Budapest without visiting the real ancient "Budapest" - Aquincum

A must for history buffs and cheap. It has been beautifully built and beautified in recent years. Everything is new, everything is clean. I recommend!

It is curious to observe how large this city was to be located on the very border of the empire and on the other side of the river to have in front of the savage barbarians ready to destroy the city.

So much, so well preserved. Not the clearest signage for navigating the places. Friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. Well worth the shlep out of town for.

If you love Roman ruins like I do, then this is a great place. The remains are only several feet high, but I enjoy imagining what could have been.

Very interesting hystorical site and museum, with activities for children.

Just outside the museum was the perfect play area for anyone traveling with kids! There were quite a few games that were Roman themed to keep any toddler to pre-teen busy! Beyond this is where the fascination of Roman ruins lie. Every detail from the elevated platforms to the arched water ways etc are well preserved.

One of Budapest hidden gems. If you have the time this is the place to spend some hours and learn about the accident Budapest.

Underrated place but so nice to visit

I've been coming back to this particular site every year for the past three years and it always seems to be improving. New exhibits a new excavated materials. There's a large section of recovered stones, headstones and other markers. The newer museum building houses several large floor mosaics, other mosaics and finds from smaller sites within the city, and interactive displays. A reconstructed Villa Rustica is also there to view. To do it justice you should budget 1.5 to 2 hours in order to cover the entire excavated area as well as the museum and other outbuildings. At its largest Aquincum would've housed between 50-60,000 people. It was the capital city of Pannonia province during the days of the Roman empire.

Worth the treck north if you're visiting Budapest. There is a museum with artifacts and a large grounds you can explore of the ancient city. They have a mock house to show living quarters. All text is available in English.

Much more impressive than I expected. A rebuilt section of town was well sign posted and exhibits were interesting.

Worth a visit.

Very large site to visit with Roman ruins outside and extensive collection of items inside the museum too. Would benefit from a cafe with good coffee.

Not a lot of English description on the outer exhibits. Still a good place to spend a couple of hours. Entrance tickets not at all expensive.

Unique and wonderful. Strange to see any kind of remains of past civilizations.
