Augusta Raurica

Go on a car holiday in Europe and find child-friendly hotels for the trip at Risskov. One of the many popular options is Switzerland, which has a lot to offer. Stop by Augusta Raurica, which is a large ancient Roman open-air museum. Augusta Raurica is located about 20 km east of Basel near the two villages of Augst and Kaiseraugst. It is the oldest known Roman colony on the Rhine and the site was founded by Lucius Munatius Plancus around 44 BC. There are over 20 monuments and buildings to visit and it's a rare opportunity to get up close to everyday life in a Roman colony, as well as a fantastic trip back in time before our era. There are also lots of exciting activities for both children and adults, and overall it's a great experience to have when on a driving holiday in Switzerland - the detour will be regretted late and there will be plenty to talk about on the drive home. Find your holiday with Risskov and set off on a self-drive experience in this mountainous and very beautiful country.
