What Is the World Heritage Experience Center?
The WEZ will be a digital and interactive world of discovery, bringing Trier’s UNESCO World Heritage to life. Here you can explore the city’s rich Roman and medieval history, understand how everything connects, and experience the magic of Trier’s heritage in a whole new way.
And the best part? The real treasures — ancient buildings and documents — are all within a short walk from the center, just minutes away!
Right in the Heart of Trier
You’ll find the World Heritage Experience Center in the historic vaulted cellars of the Steipe, directly on Trier’s Main Market Square — the perfect starting point for exploring the city’s UNESCO sites.
What Awaits You Inside
Digital. Interactive. Immersive.
Get ready to travel through time! Using state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence, the WEZ brings scenes from ancient and medieval Trier to life — spectacularly and vividly.
Step into virtual reality experiences, explore interactive walls and projections, and be amazed by captivating audio-visual installations. The center combines knowledge and entertainment to create a fascinating experience for visitors of all ages.

The entire experience will be barrier-free, designed according to the "Travel for All" accessibility standard — so that everyone can explore comfortably and independently.
Open All Year – Rain or Shine
No need to worry about the weather! As an indoor attraction, the WEZ will be open year-round, offering a great experience during any season — especially from November to March, when outdoor activities may be limited.
