Well, those who know visit the Aquincum Museum. The remains of Aquincum are scattered throughout Obuda. the museum covers a relatively small part of it. Excavations have been carried out on the territory of the museum for 120 years, as reported by a special flyer, which is issued along with the ticket. Tourist routes are specially marked on the flyer so that the unlucky tourist does not fall into some kind of hole. Various interesting ancient "things" unearthed by archaeologists can be viewed at a permanent exhibition in the administrative building of the museum. A special pride of the Aquincum Museum is the ancient Roman water organ, which was used by the Romans on campaigns.
