Explore Germany’s oldest city on a SEGWAY!
The new and unique art of locomotion. The system functions similar to the equilibrium organ in the ear. Normally, if you begin to slowly fall forward, one of your legs will automatically step forward to stop the movement. If you stand on a SEGWAY and lean your upper body forward, the machine begins to move. If you lean back, it is braked. By moving the handlebars left or right, you can turn left or right or even turn in circles.
Similarly to a typical city bus tour, participants explore many Trier city sights – on a SEGWAY. Via an information system, you hear interesting data and important facts, from the old Roman structures to the modern contact places in Germany’s oldest city. The city tour lasts about 2 ½ hours, including a half-hour introduction and becoming-acquainted session with the vehicle. Tours begin at the Porta Nigra.
The tour leads past the following sights:
Zurlauben (old fishing village), past old cranes, Roman Bridge, Barbara Baths, Amphitheater, Palace Garden, Imperial Baths, Electoral Palace, Basilika (Roman Imperial Throne Room), Cathedral and back to Porta Nigra.
Lenght: 7.5 mi / 12 km
Price: € 39.00 (Monday - Thursday: Short tour without Amphitheater and Petrisberg, Duration: 1 - 1.5 hours)
Price: € 59.00 (Friday - Sunday and on Holidays: incl. Amphitheater and Petrisberg, Duration: approx. 2.5 hours)
Tour participants meet at Tourist Information Trier 15 minutes before begin.
