About Rómaifürdő
Where to stay in Rómaifürdő
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The ruins decide it. Rómaifürdő puts a visitor beside Aquincum, and a room taken here sits within reach of the excavated ground rather than of anything a larger centre keeps for its evenings. Two anchors, then.
The Aquincum Museum is what most people come out for, the Aquincum Mithraeum stands apart from it, and the residential blocks between the two hold what few beds the district has.
About Rómaifürdő
What are the main landmarks in Rómaifürdő?
Three entries, one name. Aquincum supplies the archaeological ground, the Aquincum Museum holds what the digging turned up, and the Aquincum Mithraeum marks a shrine of the kind sunk underground for the cult of Mithras. Rómaifürdő keeps all three.
Nothing else on its register competes with them, so the question of what to see here answers itself before a visitor has left the room.
What is the history of Rómaifürdő?
Roman work underlies the district. Aquincum is the settlement whose remains give Rómaifürdő its archaeological ground, and the Aquincum Mithraeum among them belongs to the Roman cult of Mithras. The name says as much.
Rómaifürdő reads in Hungarian as a Roman bath, and the Aquincum Museum keeps the finds that explain why a district in Hungary would carry a name of that shape.
Where is Rómaifürdő?
Rómaifürdő covers the ground where Aquincum was dug out, a district of Hungary built up around ruins rather than laid out beside them.
