Surrounded by the Alps, Aosta preserves an astonishing historical heritage, where Roman remains live alongside medieval churches and cloisters. Strolling through its streets is a journey across centuries of history, with the mountains always on the horizon.
The imposing arches of the façade are among the most spectacular witnesses to Roman Augusta Praetoria. The complex can also be visited inside, where the scale of the ancient theater becomes clear.
Built in 25 B.C. to celebrate the Romans' victory over the Salassi, it marks one of the city's historic entrances. The stone structure is especially striking with the mountains in the background.
It is one of the best-preserved Roman gates in Aosta Valley and still retains the openings and passageways of the ancient access to the city. Walking through it lets you imagine entering the Roman colony.
The cathedral combines architectural elements from different eras and houses works of art and precious furnishings. Don’t miss the cloister, which tells the city’s long religious history.
This medieval complex is famous for its Romanesque cloister, with finely carved capitals of great value. Inside, you can also admire frescoes and traces of its ancient history.
This evocative underground gallery was part of the monumental area of the Roman forum. Its long arches offer an unusual and beautifully preserved glimpse of ancient Aosta.

An itinerary focused on the historic center to admire the city's main Roman and medieval remains.

Aosta’s historic center is compact and easy to explore on foot: many of the main sights are close to one another. To reach the more distant neighborhoods and some places in the valley, you can use local and regional buses. If you’re arriving by train, check schedules and any replacement services on the route in advance, as service may vary. A car is useful for exploring the region, but in the historic center parking and access can be limited.
Late spring and early autumn are ideal for strolling through the city and visiting the archaeological sites in generally mild temperatures. Summer brings long days and plenty of opportunities for mountain hikes, while winter is a great choice for those who want to combine sightseeing with snow activities in nearby resorts. In any season, check the forecast and trail conditions if you’re planning high-altitude excursions.
To sample Valdostan cuisine, look for trattorias and restaurants serving fontina, polenta concia, carbonada, and traditional soups. In bars and wine shops you’ll also find local cured meats and wines from the region, such as Vallée d’Aoste DOC. For a more casual meal, explore the streets of the center and the area around Piazza Émile Chanoux. During peak periods, it’s advisable to book ahead, especially in the evening.
