Get your discount tickets for the Emperors, Monks and Marx Self Guided Tour of Trier, save up to 9% !
Overview
Trier's most famous Roman gate was never finished — and only survived because a monk walled himself inside it a thousand years ago. This self-guided audio tour follows that thread of unlikely survival through Germany's oldest city, across 15 stops spanning two millennia. You'll stand inside the largest surviving single room from Roman antiquity, hear how a fortune in gold coins lay hidden under a parking garage for eighteen centuries, and learn why a Gothic church escaped demolition because someone proved its French builders actually built it. Start your Trier walking tour whenever you like, pause for Moselle Riesling, and pick up right where you left off. No group to keep pace with, no fixed schedule, works offline. If you'd rather explore at your own rhythm than be herded between landmarks on someone else's timetable, this is your kind of tour. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, backed by a full refund guarantee.
