Sopianae, predecessor of Pécs in the Roman times had its late Roman Paleochristian cemetery included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in the year 2000. In their architecture and wall-paintings the excavated finds present the Early Christian burial architecture and art of the Northern and Western provinces of the Roman Empire. From among the Hungarian world heritage sites the Early Christian cemetery is the only one that has won itself a place on the UNESCO world heritage list in the category of culture-historical architecture.

It is hard to find educational places to take your kids to where they would learn something in a non-boring manner. This place really keeps them engaged because it is like a maze they can explore. It is also a great activity to do on a cold, rainy/snowy day. Those are, as well, few and far between if you are not visiting Budapest.

This park was near the place we stayed in and we liked it a lot! The fawn statue was very cute! And the dog statue was nice as well. Also there's a special track for walking barefoot, playground, botanical garden and even a bridge to hang ribbons with written wishes. Very beautiful.

Spent a wonderful weekend in Tata. Great that you can walk around the lake, takes approx an hour. Visit the cafe on the top floor of the castle, you will enjoy a good view from there.

This crowded Roman town was on the north-east border of the empire, facing untamed tribes across the Danube. It is very easy to find and access. Go to Aquincum stations on the Hev suburban railway and on the main railway from Nyugati station to Esztergom. Before entering Aquincum, take advantage of a free visit to the well-excavated amphitheatre adjoining the Hev station. If driving up the west bank of the Danube on Szentendrei utca to Bekasmegyer, there is a big free car park on the right, after the Auchan supermarket traffic lights. Only the excellent new museum building (big, clean toilets) is wheelchair or pushchair friendly. Tread carefully, especially in wet weather. In hot weather, take plenty of water. Hungarian and English text panels explain the different buildings, and a colour booklet is sold at the cash desk. This is one of Hungary's most child-friendly sites. Youngsters can also show their archaeology skills in a sandpit populated with child-friendly skeleton and ceramics. Highlights include a reconstructed Temple of Mithras, on the site of the original. Beware of the irregular steps at the entrance. Two explanatory films are here - move quickly to squeeze onto the audience bench. Also visit the nearby reconstructed House of the Painter. On the east side of the site is a rich collection of finds, with about half idenfied in Hungarian and English captions. At the southern end, by the small amphitheatre - look through fencing to see finds awaiting cataloguing and display. A well-documented display of Roman brickmaking methods and skills is also here. On the south side, a collection of 72 querns and millstones shows off the stonehewer's skill in Roman times. You can see the transition from querns to millstones, and also the many stone fractures occurring before stonehewers adopted the Spanish cross to reduce shock in driven stones.

Of course some people find it terrifying to admire a skeleton, but I loved it. It was similar to the one standing in my biology class and I thought it was cute. Something interesting ????????????
