    Its almost like your in rome or greece yes

  • 5/5 Ina S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Always worth a trip, big or small - something for everyone ... great is the old arena (Original) Immer einen Ausflug Wert, ob groß oder klein-für jeden was dabei...toll ist die alte Arena

  • 5/5 Simone R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) For all Roman fans an absolute must. Every few years there is a huge event "Bread & Games". It's best to spend a lot of time getting good footwear and food and tricks for this huge facility. Visitors are expected in many places. Arena, temples as well as the houses and the thermal bath with exhibition I found the most worth seeing. A small trip to the tavern is worth it, but the food is unfortunately not very authentic nachgekocht. The Mulsum but tasted. (Original) Für alle Römerfans ein absolutes Muss. Alle paar Jahre gibt es ein riesigen Event "Brot&Spiele". Man sollte sich für diese riesige Anlage am besten viel Zeit gutes Schuhwerk und Essen und Tri kennen mitnehmen. An vielen Stellen ist mit Besucherandrang zu rechnen. Arena, Tempel sowie die Wohnhäuser und die Therme mit Ausstellung fand ich am sehenswertesten. Ein kleiner Abstecher in die Taverne lohnt, jedoch das Essen ist leider nicht sehr authentisch nachgekocht. Der Mulsum hat aber geschmeckt.

    (Translated by Google) It's really interesting to see what it must have looked like at the time of the Romans. The visit gives you a much better idea of ​​it than just looking at the ruins. I especially liked the houses of ordinary citizens. So you can see the everyday life of the Romans. I only give 4 stars because you do not see enough for such a large area and you have to walk quite a bit from one building to another. (Original) Es ist echt interessant zu sehen wie es zur Zeit der Römer mal ausgesehen haben muss. Durch den Besuch bekommt man eine viel bessere Vorstellung davon, als wenn man sich immer nur die Ruinen anschaut. Besonderst haben mir auch die Häuser der normalen Bürger gefallen. So sieht man auch mal den Alltag der Römer. Ich gebe nur 4 Sterne weil man für so ein großes Gelände recht wenig sieht und schon ein ganzes Stück von einem Gebäude zum anderen laufen muss.

    (Translated by Google) As I know the entrance from previous visits, the container did not bother me, as an inlet. The staff was very friendly and it is just a temporary solution! (Original) Da ich den Eingang von vorherigen Besuchen kenne, störte mich der Container, als Einlass nicht. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und es ist halt eine Übergangslösung!

    (Translated by Google) We come back every year, there is always something new to discover. New excavations or museum pieces. If the weather is fine, you can have a nice picnic, rent a wagon to avoid having to lug the things, the playground invites children and dogs are welcome in the APX. (Original) Wir kommen jedes Jahr wieder, es gibt immer neues zu entdecken. Neue Ausgrabungen oder Museumsstücke. Man kann hier bei schönem Wetter prima Picknicken, einem Bollerwagen ausleihen um die Sachen nicht schleppen zu müssen, der Spielplatz lädt Kinder ein und auch Hunde sind im APX willkommen.

  • 5/5 Conrad E. 5 years ago on Google • 854 reviews
    Great place if you're interested in History and archeology. Very interesting. It's a good place to take children, lots of space to run around. There is even a large play ground, built like a roman fort. Thee is a room where you can play roman board games. Inexpensive entrance fee. Ample parking spaces available.

  • 5/5 Jackie C. 6 years ago on Google
    Definitely worth the visit. Be sure to check out events going on at the park. We were there for the Roman Weekends and it was really cool to see how people lived in roman times (p.s. be sure to pick up the bread by the bakers). Was fun to also try some roman dishes and wine at The Herberge.

    The first area to meet where they are expanding the building collection and have active digs.

  • 5/5 Marc R. 7 years ago on Google • 49 reviews
    This partly restored town of the Roman era gives a very good impression of the daily surroundings of citizens of those days. Because this was a planned town it shows the rigorous planning and engineering ability for which the Romans were famous. If you've seen Pompey or Ostia you definitely should see this as well.

  • 5/5 Der H. 6 years ago on Google
    Mmmuuuuuuuuulm.  Roman houses Homes made of loam Monumental buildings are only one aspect of the Colonia. Average people lived in simple, multi-storey houses made of loam. A special challenge for the construction researchers of the APX. more  Harbour temple Beacon of Roman civilisation A splendid eye-catcher: Visible from far on the river, the impressive harbour temple served as a beacon of Roman civilisation in the Lower Rhine area. more  Amphitheatre Let the games begin Back in ancient times, thousands of Romans flocked to the monumental amphitheatre to watch the fights of men and animals. Today the arena hosts festive spectacles, too. more  Roman Hostel A place at the inn Those who were looking for food and lodging after a strenuous trip found it in the Hostel of the Colonia. Amenities included relaxation in the Hostel’s bath or a visit to the tavern. more  City wall & gates Protection and power The most ambitious construction project after receiving the status of a city was the wall including gates and towers around the city. Reconstructed parts of it can be seen in the APX today.

    It’s great to see how serious archaeology is being taken in Germany. The reconstructions are well executed and the museum is superb. For over 35 years I go here every few years to see this work in progress.

    Der Park ist für jeden historisch Interessierten ein Muss! Auch wenn es sich bei den Gebäuden und Ausstellungsstücken um Nachbauten handelt, gewinnt man einen tollen Eindruck über das Leben in der Stadt zu römischen Zeiten.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice and interesting park. You can admire many things and learn something about the time of the Romans in Xanten. The museum is lovingly designed over several levels and shows an abundance of things that were found during excavations. Even parts of a ship can be seen. The park is extensive and there is a great playground for children and even the opportunity to stand in the arena of an amphitheater. (Original) Sehr schöner und interessanter Park. Man kann viele Dinge bestaunen und einiges über die Zeit der Römer in Xanten lernen. Das Museum ist liebevoll über mehrere Ebenen gestaltet und zeigt eine Fülle von Dingen die bei Ausgrabungen gefunden wurden. Sogar Teile eines Schiffes sind zu sehen. Der Park ist weitläufig und für Kinder gibt es einen tollen Spielplatz und die Möglichkeit sogar selbst einmal in der Arena eines Amphitheaters zu stehen.
