Top 5 Things to do for Honeymoon in Aosta, Valle d'Aosta
Aosta (Italian: [aˈɔsta] ( listen); French: Aoste [ɔst]; Arpitan: Aoûta; Latin: Augústa Prætṓrĭa Salassṓrum) is the principal city of Aosta Valley, a bilingual region in the Italian Alps, 110 km (68 mi) north-northwest of Turin. It is situated near the Italian entrance of the Mont Blanc Tunnel, at the confluence of the Buthier and the Dora Baltea, and at the junction of the Great and Little St. Bernard routes. Aosta is not the capital of the province, because Aosta Valley is the only Italian region not divided into provinces. Provincial administrative functions are instead shared by the region and the communes.

Flying in a hot air balloon over the Alps, the best rides in Eupore. Flying in a hot air balloon is an amazing experience, which you'll remember forever. Ballooning is both relaxing and thrilling, offering breathtaking views and a feeling of freedom which is totally unique. Fly with the wind and feel lighter than air, these are the sensations a hot air balloon flight gives you. From the ground people will greet you enchanted by the passage of the balloon. On board in a balloon you have a 360° view from a balcony up to 8-10.000 feet!!!!. With no other aircraft in no other place you have the possibility to do this. When you fly in a hot air balloon you know the launch site but not where you are going to land, that's why a balloon flight is a unique and unforgettable experience and really worth to try with your friends or with your loved ones. We fly all the year especially in winter period!!! Charbonnier Balloons, certified operator since 1982, will be happy to welcome you on board.

The Aostan Roman Theatre stands out for its straight southern facade measuring 22 meters in height. Its majesty is punctuated by a series of buttresses and arches and is lightened by three orders of windows with different width. The masonry is characterized by large rectangular blocks of conglomerate and of local limestone. This suggestive part was originally longer than 60 m. The east and west sides were about 38 m long. The cavea is easily recognisable, as a semicircular structure where the public sat. Only the last six steps remain visible, in addition to the two, lower and wider, where the most important people used to sit. The radial substructures on which laid the rest of the terraces are still in their original place. The stage was located in front of the cavea, of which only the foundations are still visible. Small rooms behind served as dressing rooms for the actors, while the sides of the stage were used as deposits for equipment. The entire structure was then completed by arcades that stood against the perimeter wall on the shorter sides. The theatre was not built at the same time when the city was founded (25 BC), but rather a few decades later, in the Julio-Claudian era, as some previous buildings were found in this very area.

Very handy if you've just come through the tunnel or across the pass from Switzerland, Aosta is a nice little town with several very interesting things to see. Definitely worth stopping here. The Roman theatre has some well-preserved parts, and is a must-see for anyone interested in that era. Easily accessible from the main street.
