Founded by the Romans under Emperor Augustus in 17 BC, Trier looks back on a rich past as the oldest city in Germany. As a city of the Roman Empire, Trier experienced a period of cultural prosperity and served as the residence of several Roman emperors. In cultural terms, Trier could be described as an open-air museum of European architecture. Join us on a journey through time from ancient, Roman, Romanesque and Gothic times to the Renaissance, Baroque and Classicism. During a short city tour you will see evidence of Trier's Roman past, such as the Baths of Barbara and the amphitheater. The subsequent tour will take you past the Bishop's Palace, the Palace Garden and the Constantine Basilica and, of course, to the city's landmark - the 2,000-year-old monument of Roman architecture, the "Porta Nigra".

Hardly any other European capital can boast such impressive contrasts as Luxembourg. In the course of its thousand-year history, the city developed from "Lucilinburhuc", the ancestral seat of Siegfried, the first Count of Luxembourg, to a prosperous metropolis. In between, there were centuries of eventful history. On the tour through the capital, the European dimension of Luxembourg is shown with the most important buildings of the Europe Center. During a walk through the historic Old Town you will see, among other things, the Cathedral as well as the Grand Ducal Palace and the pedestrian zone.

Behind every door in Bernkastel you can surely find a piece of history. Let us convince you of this on a guided walk through the ancient alleys of Bernkastel-Kues.

It was not until 1904 that the districts of Bernkastel and Kues were brought together and connected by a bridge over the Moselle. During this guided tour, you will not only learn interesting facts about the wine cultural landscape, but also about the fascinating history of the Cusanus town.

City tour Koblenz with cable car ride
City tour Koblenz with cable car ride
With its more than 2,000-year history, Koblenz is one of the oldest cities in Germany. The original Latin name Confluentes (meaning: those who flow together) is due to the city's location. Koblenz is located at the mouth of the Moselle and Rhine, the so-called "German Corner". Get to know the historic old town on a walking tour. The idyllic alleys between the Basilica of St. Kastor, the oldest church building in Koblenz, and the Church of Our Lady give Koblenz a special charm. The walking tour takes you to another landmark of the city, the Schängelbrunnen fountain at the city hall, which is a monument to the Koblenz Schängel, a rascal. Following your tour, a highlight awaits you: a cable car ride across the Rhine to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Experience Koblenz from a bird's eye view and then take a leisurely stroll through the fortress park.
