Aquincum
≈ 45 min
Originally founded by the Celts around 1 AD, the territory was later annexed by the Romans, who established the city of Aquincum here (today occupied by Budapest). The Magyars eventually invaded the region after being expelled from Bulgaria, founding the Kingdom of Hungary around 1000 AD. In 1361, the king built Buda Castle here, cementing present-day Budapest as the capital and cultural center of the kingdom. The Roman city of Aquincum flourished in the 3rd century AD, when thousands of people lived there. Today, visitors can stroll through the ruins of Aquincum. The museum highlights the most interesting excavated finds.
