The erstwhile capital city of the Regio Basiliensis still has much to offer: the largest Roman silver treasure, the impressive theatre, the atmospheric Roman house or the new city model made of bronze. However, life in antiquity can be experienced most authentically in one of the numerous workshops. Baking bread, making pottery or perhaps a fine perfume essence? No matter what you choose, an unforgettable experience is always guaranteed - for Augusta Raurica is the perfect excursion destination.
