Carnuntum Archaeological Park
Archäologischer Park Carnuntum
The ruins of a Roman city between Bratislava and Vienna. Roman villas and baths have been rebuilt on the original site using original materials, and the huge Heathen Gate is a landmark.
Carnuntum was once the capital of the Roman province of Pannonia, with a population of about 50,000. It is part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire: Danube Limes World Heritage site. The archaeological park is divided into the Roman city area, which has reconstructed streets, villas and public baths, an amphitheatre, and the remains of a 4th-century triumphal arch known as the Heathen Gate. The Carnuntum Museum is also on site. It is about 25 km from Bratislava, roughly 30 minutes by car, or you can take a train to Petronell. A combined ticket covers all the sites.
