Twenty minutes from Basel (by train and on foot), the historic site of Augusta Raurica bears witness to the Roman era, from the colony's beginnings to its decline. A team of sixty people work there every day to preserve the finds and present them to the public. Its ancient theater is the best preserved north of the Alps. It's a great family outing outside the city of Basel, allowing you to visualize life in Roman times and understand how trade and military control were organized in these areas. There's a fascinating story to be told that's accessible to everyone.
