Who it's for
Adults and teenagers; with children, better after the Roman quarter

The Roman city's museum is in a building that imitates a Roman villa, in the spa town of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, 4 km from the Petronell quarter. It holds the best of what has come from the excavations: sculptures, gravestones, weapons, jewellery and coins. Enter with the same day ticket as the Roman quarter. At weekends there are guided tours in German at 11:00, 13:00, 14:00 and 15:00. From Bad Deutsch-Altenburg station it is about a 20-minute walk.
