Here’s an overview of your tour

Join me as we unveil the secrets of this historic era during an exclusive tour that promises to ignite your imagination. Behold the unearthed treasures hidden within the hallowed grounds of the Abbey of St. Peter, a sacred site where Roman excavations from the 1990s lie veiled, awaiting your eager exploration. Step beyond the ordinary as the doors to the Abbey swing open exclusively for you, granting rare access to a captivating new exhibition.

Prepare to be awe-struck as you encounter a tangible piece of history—a surviving Roman wall standing as a silent sentinel to the past. Marvel at the intricate reconstruction of an ancient heating system, whispering tales of bygone comfort and luxury. And gaze upon the weathered visage of a 1900-year-old tombstone, once belonging to a notable mayor of Iuvavum, now a poignant testament to the passage of time.

But the adventure doesn't end there! Conclude your journey with a delightful "Roman snack" experience, savouring the flavours of antiquity with a tasting of freshly prepared, authentic Roman cuisine. Let your taste buds dance to the rhythms of ancient recipes, tantalizingly transported from the annals of history to your plate.

Join me as we unravel the mysteries of Salzburg's Roman heritage—a journey that promises thrills, discoveries, and delectable delights at every turn.
