Step inside one of Germany's greatest open-air Roman museums — the Archaeological Park Xanten — with a private expert guide who unlocks 2,000 years of history from a living Roman city.
What to expect
The park is jaw-dropping in scale: a fully reconstructed Roman city — amphitheatre, harbour temple, baths, and colonnaded streets — built on the exact footprint of Colonia Ulpia Traiana. Your private guide weaves vivid stories of legionaries, merchants, and emperors. You'll handle replica Roman artefacts, descend into excavation trenches, and end with coffee in the park's atmospheric museum café. Xanten is just 20 minutes from Wesel by taxi.
Good to know
Pre-arrange a private licensed guide via the park or ToursByLocals. Taxi from Wesel port to Xanten is roughly EUR 30–35 each way. The park needs 2.5–3 hours to do justice — plan accordingly against all-aboard time.
