Roman Verulamium
Explore the remains of a major Roman city.
Verulamium was one of the most important Roman cities in Britain, and its story is still visible across St Albans today. The parkland gives visitors space to wander, while the museum helps explain the people, buildings and objects connected with the ancient city.
It is a particularly enjoyable visit because it does not feel like a single indoor attraction. You can spend time in the museum, walk through Verulamium Park, look for historic remains, and continue into St Albans for lunch, shopping or a visit to the Cathedral.
