Aosta is a destination always worth a visit, in both summer and winter. Its historic centre is easily explored on foot, among pedestrian streets, shops, cafés and restaurants, in an atmosphere that combines mountain charm with the history of one of Italy’s best-preserved Roman cities.
Strolling through the centre, you can admire the Arch of Augustus, the Porta Praetoria, the Collegiate Church of Sant’Orso, and the archaeological area that tells the story of the city’s origins. The Roman Theatre, one of Aosta’s symbols, is currently undergoing restoration work and will remain closed until summer 2026, though its imposing façade can still be seen from outside.
It’s a perfect choice for anyone wanting to combine days in the mountains with a few hours devoted to culture, shopping or good food. A walk through Aosta reveals a different side of the Aosta Valley, among monuments, historic squares and charming corners.
