So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Know more about traveling from Xanten
Xanten is approximately 54 km (34 miles) from DĂźsseldorf and around 100 km (62 miles) from Cologne. By car, that puts DĂźsseldorf around an hour away and Cologne roughly an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes depending on traffic. The town sits in the western Lower Rhine region, making it a natural day trip from either city as well as from cities across the Dutch border.
The Archaeological Park alone warrants 3 to 4 hours to explore properly, and that is before you factor in the cathedral, the Altstadt market square, and the Siegfried Museum. A full day gives you the best experience â arrive in the morning, spend the bulk of your time in the park, and use the afternoon for the old town. Half a day is feasible if you focus exclusively on the park, but you will leave feeling like you rushed it.
Yes â the Archaeological Park is particularly well designed for families. Beyond the museum and reconstructed Roman buildings, the park includes a large adventure playground, a water playground, and open green space. Children can explore hands-on craft demonstrations in reconstructed smithy and weaving workshops. The town itself is flat, walkable, and low-key, which makes the logistics easy with younger travelers.
The LVR Archaeological Park is the centerpiece â the largest open-air archaeological museum in Germany, built on the ruins of the Roman city Colonia Ulpia Traiana. It features a reconstructed amphitheater, harbour temple, city walls, a Roman shipyard, and an on-site museum with over 2,500 artifacts. Just outside the park, St. Viktor Cathedral â the largest cathedral between Cologne and the sea â anchors a picturesque medieval old town worth exploring on foot.
Xanten is one of the most historically layered towns in Germany, where ancient Roman ruins and a medieval Gothic cathedral sit side by side. You can walk through a full-scale reconstructed Roman city in the morning and wander a charming Altstadt in the afternoon. It is compact, walkable, and genuinely different from a typical German city visit â a day here feels like two eras of history in one place.
Getting to Xanten by public transport from major cities typically requires multiple connections and adds significant travel time to your day. A private Daytrip driver takes you directly from your starting point with no transfers, no timetable pressure, and no hassle navigating regional rail connections in an unfamiliar area. You set the departure time, and if you want to linger at the archaeological park longer than planned, you can â your driver works around your schedule, not the other way around.
