Experience Roman history in Avenches

Facebook LinkedIn Twitter WhatsApp

Avenches brings the region’s history to life. The ancient site of Aventicum offers traces of the Roman era, evocative locations, and a cultural contrast to a journey on the water.

In Roman times, Aventicum was the most important town on Swiss soil on the transit route from the Rhone Valley via Augusta Raurica to Germania. Many important remains from that time have been excellently preserved or excavated, restored and conserved. For example, the best preserved amphitheater in Switzerland is located at the eastern exit of the historic old town.

Our tip:
Treat yourself to a stroll through the picturesque old town in one of the many friendly cafés and restaurants.

Why this trip fits in with the Attila Route

Attila brings together water, places, and stories. Avenches adds historical depth to the cruise and showcases the rich heritage of the region around Lake Murten.
