Avenches - Romans

Avenches was the old Roman city, Aventicum. Come here for your sports, gladiators, wild animals, and then relax in the baths with heating by pipes under the floor. See ://history-switzerland.geschichte-schweiz.ch/old-swiss-capital-aventicum.html/ There is a fine Hostel here, but it takes a GPS to find it. That is the difficulty with Hostels and other specific locations. How to get there without wasting time. We did stay at the Hostel here because our GPS worked that one day, but otherwise took whatever little spot we could find near the center of the Old City wherever.
