Roman amphitheatre of Xanten

This well-preserved and expertly restored Roman city gives visitors a first-hand look at what life was like 2000 years ago.

About

Settled by the Romans around 15 BC, by the 2nd century, Xanten was home to around 15,000 people. Frequent Frankish incursions in the 3rd century eventually overwhelmed the Romans, and they had to abandon the settlement. Xanten is one of the only ancient settlements in Northern Europe that was never built over, allowing archaeologists to restore and recreate the town with fascinating accuracy. Walking through this open air museum, visitors can see the Roman baths, 10,000 seat amphitheatre, reconstructed fortifications and other buildings, and a mysterious temple to an unknown deity. At the on-site museum, visitors will find the day-to-day artefacts, ranging from utensils to money. The park also hosts special events, most notably the world’s largest Roman reenactment festival, with craftsman, and even gladiators bringing the town to life.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
