Great experience to relive the Roman period in Germany, from before year 0 until year 500. Seeing how the large city evolved prospered and eventually fell apart under siege from the Frankish tribes. Wander thru the Colosseum, up and down the embankment and fortified walls, stroll along the paths thousands of Romans walked before you and learn stuff in the museum. Well worth a day's visit!

Amazing! For 11 Euros per adult and children for free, a great price. A huge, beautiful park with so much to see and do. If you like Roman artifacts and history it is a must!

I was on Xanten Archaeological Park for a first time on my life. IT was amazing experience for me. The most I enjoyend the colosseum its fantastic feeling when u are there u can feel the history:). The museum is also very good with the few floors and a lot od ancient artefakts. So when u will have oportunity to go there Just do IT as is realny amazing place for a trio.

Incredibly large area (site of a Roman city) with wonderful recreations of the buildings. The car park at the main entrance needs a parking card and is only for 4 hours - you may need more time!! Play areas (massive fort and bouncy thing) for young people.

A wonderful day spent in this archaeological park. Lots of beautiful reconstructions that evoke the life of the Romans in the former Colonia Ulpia Traiana. Especially the colosseum and the temple. It's huge! The reconstructions are still being done, so it's worth coming again. There's a lot to walk around. But also to see. The trees in the park are well trimmed, so there's no shade, but they will grow. The paths are the main roads of the former Ulpia. At the other end is a large and very rich and beautifully decorated museum and the remains of the thermal baths.

A History museum done right. Experimental architecture is thé best way to help people imagine the past. The archaeological Museum Xanten shows how it can be done. Even though this might not be for everyone, for those interested in history, with all levels of prerequisite knowledge, it's a great visit. The (partial) reconstruction of the houses, the amphitheater and the temple are great and I particularly enjoyed the ship building shed. The museum is a nice visit as well with information available in English, German or Dutch.

LVR Archaeological Park Xanten in Germany's largest archaeological open-air museum invites you to an exciting excursion into history. Impressive buildings such as the harbor temple and the amphitheater, residential buildings and bathing facilities provide vivid insights into life in Roman Germania. In addition, the award-winning LVR-RömerMuseum, excavations and activities to participate offer a variety of incentives to approach Roman times with all your senses. For children, the meadows and large playgrounds offer many opportunities to let off steam and discover. Good value for money and reasonably priced selection of food, drinks coffee also fair prices. Really good place for kids. Playing area very clean and beautiful 😻 my kids and other kids also really enjoyed! Thank you so much for your good maintenance.

Magnificent cathedral built in between 11 and 12 centuries. Inside of the cathedral you will find amazing wood carved artwork and stone work that can be dated back to 18 and 19 centuries! The stone works on the outside of the cathedral also as magnificent as well. The crucifixion of the Christ with two criminal next to our Christ in the courtyard also is a master piece too! There are different languages booklet/literature that you can pickup to understand the history of the cathedral Soon as you walked into it! Also a media booth you can watch a film regarding the cathedral also. The center garden also is the place you don’t want to miss out on it.

The story of the church goes back to Roman times when a soldier named Victor and serving in a Roman legion refused to sacrifice to the Roman gods. He was supposedly executed for this and later his bones were recovered and buried in a chapel in this place. The church now stands roughly in the place where the chapel once stood. The inside has beautiful carved wooden panels with religious moitifs In front of the church are some nice sculptures

An amazing Cathedral. Beautiful and historic. I spent hours here in total amazement.

Beautiful place. Easily accessible.

The old ancient roman city xanten is beautiful small town in Nrw Germany holding an ancient history of Romans. It has a beautiful cathedral which is second largest cathedral in Nrw after the köln.

Wonderful and historic . I recommend anyone to see hier

Beautiful landmark with parking place from a short walking distance.

Very pretty town square. A few good refreshment options.

Nice marketplace with a good array of shops and stands. Ate some very nice Kibbeling at the fish stand and drank some delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream at a cafe. Would recommend visiting of you are near Xanten.

Always a great place to visit, shop and eat. This time ice cream at the Eiscafe.

Small towns with urban mix are marvellous.

We were there for the Christmas market. As a bonus, there was an art show and sale in the Rathaus, which we enjoyed. We like to be in Xanten in all seasons.

We were in Xanten for the first day of the Christmas markets. The square was full of stalls, gastronomy and gifts. Lots of tables and places to sit. The rising cost of living can also be felt here: the price of glühwein is €4, a Waffel with Nutella €4, a Crêpe with Nutella €4.50

Just a super place. Great for the whole family.

In the first place we just walked by the Kriemhild muhle because we wanted to see it, but when we were on our way back we noticed that it was actually a store, The people were very friendly, and for only 50 cents we were allowed to go on top of the roof! Very fun expierence 👍👍

Great shop that offers the so-inclined for a couple of Euros to climb up the wind mill and watch it work, or go even higher for a great outlook over Xanten. Well worth it!

Wonderful organic store in an antique environment. Unfortunately too many customers between 12:00 an 15:00. Bread & cakes are delicious, unique and matchless.

It's a quite unusual and really cosy place with an superior and friendly service, with always a smile and a little joke so it's really nice to be there. You see they really love there business. You can have a coffee etc and can sit outside, there you find some hand mill stations where you or especially kids can mill by there own which is lovely! Non cash check-out option and you can buy a lot of (organic) food there which was also unexpected and amazing! They have the processing upstairs and bakery on the backside.. their hand and home made bakery products are a must try because.. it's sooo much tasty indeed, awesome!

Beautiful place. It was raining when I walked by.

Wonderful classic German hotel and Italian restaurant and owners

Cool looking mill

We used this as an entry to the city after we visited the ‘Kriemhild muhle’ it was really cool and also gave me kind of a medieval vibe. Great way to enter the city if you’ve just visited the Roman museum.

(Translated by Google) A slightly different place to stay overnight. Very nicely furnished apartments. WiFi is also available. Everything you need to look after yourself is available. Beautiful view from the 3rd floor over Xanten There are a few negative points for the mattresses. These could be renewed, as could the shower cubicle. There was mold in the corners here. Otherwise highly recommended. We'd love to come back. (Original) Mal die etwas andere Übernachtungsmöglichkeit. Sehr schön eingerichtete Apartments. W-LAN ist auch vorhanden. Alles vorhanden, was man benötigt um sich selbst zu versorgen. Wunderschöne Ausblick aus dem 3. Stock über Xanten Ein paar Minuspunkte gibt es für die Matratzen. Diese könnten erneuert werden, genauso wie die Duschkabine. Hier war Schimmel in den Ecken. Ansonsten sehr zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

(Translated by Google) It is worth attention. Really beautiful views. I recommend. (Original) Jest warte uwagi. Naprawdę piękni widoki. Polecam.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful tower with a medieval feel (Original) 漂亮的塔樓，有中世紀的風情

Nice place to walk around

(Translated by Google) The best vacation, as always, in these historic buildings. Whether the Klever Gate or the Pesthäuschen (Pest House), it's simply unbeatable, and the staff are very accommodating. We often come here to Xanten every year for our honeymoon and visit all the historic buildings. (Original) Der Beste Urlaub wie immer in den Historischen gemäuer. Ob das Klever Tor oder das Pesthäuschen einfach unschlagbar und die Mitarbeiter sehr zuvorkommend. Fagrem jedes jahr als Hochzeitsreise hier nach Xanten und klappern alle historischen gemäudr ab.

(Translated by Google) The Klever Gate is simply great; before you go into town you always cycle past the Kriemhild, the Klever Gate and the graduation tower! (Original) Einfach klasse das Klever Tor, immer bevor es in die Stadt geht wird die Kriemhild das Klever Tor u das gradierwerk mit den Rädern abgefahren !

Has an active community who authentically reenact everything roman - from the food, the clothing, writing, up to reenacting roman battle tactics. Do have a working torsion catapult that is fired on certain occasions during the year

We thoroughly enjoyed our day here. There's lots to see and do here, you can easily spend all day here. The Museum itself is good and nice to walk around. There's a massive park for children so definitely child friendly. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes!

Huge museum, great collection. Worth visiting.

Visit as part of the Archaeology Park. Archaeological remains of a massive Roman baths (the complex is estimated to hold 1000! guests at any one time). Good museum, with many interesting exhibits.

The APX / LVR Museum complex is a great site to visit, encompassing reconstructions of important buildings - the gladiator arena especially- as well as the principal archeological site and museum. Plenty to do (including playground) and see, very informative. Parking can be tight, though, so be prepared to hunt around and park a bit further away than you might be hoping for!

Extremely large walking area. The museum itself is inside a glassy building that is far from the entrance. Not expensive. Excellent playground for kids. It is advised to bring food and drinks with you.

Very large mostly open air museum. The museum in what is rebuilt to look as the original bathhouse is in itself worth a visit and has a large collection of items, a large number of these unique and intriguing. Too that add the park with its various buildings to see and explore and you can easily spend 6-7-8 hours and +10k steps here. If you like romanstuff and history a must visit.

I really enjoyed a day of climbing! Personel is kind and some also speak other languages like English and some a bit of Dutch. At some point it got too crowded for them to handle more guests at the bigger climbing places. Therefore I wasn't able to get though all courses, sadly enough. Overall; quite good! 👍

Lovely and helpful staff
