School classes - Guided tours
The ideal way to make your trip to Germany's oldest city perfect is with a tour with one of our qualified city guides, who naturally organise the tour to suit the respective age group or school type. Please tell us about the composition of your school group.
City Tours
Our classical city
walking tour “2000 Years – 2000 Steps” gives you, for example, an
overview of the more than two thousand years of Trier history. For younger
school children, we have a special tour, a children’s walking tour “2000 Years –
4000 Little Steps.” A toga tour in authentic narrative style permits you to
see Trier
through the eyes of a Roman. Your guide in traditional Roman dress gives you
and your class an impression of the Roman city.
Please note: Trier
is a city of short distances – you can reach most of the sights easily on foot.
Some of the monuments, for example, the Amphitheater or the Roman Bridge, lie somewhat outside the city center but can easily be reached by coach. A city bus tour permits you to
experience Germany’s
oldest city comfortably by bus.
Adventure Performances
Our exciting, partly interactive adventure performances are a noteworthy
highlight. Professional actors take you and your class on a fascinating journey
back in time and turn the monuments into hands-on history. You and your class
can, for example, follow the Gladiator Valerius through the dark
passages, cellars, and dungeons of the Amphitheater or let the centurion
in his lustrous parade uniform abduct you into the time when Rome
ruled the world – and the emperor in Trier
conducted the fate of the empire. You can practice the war cry “JUPITER
NOBISCUM!” [Jupiter be with us!] with him, defend the Porta
Nigra against invading Germanic barbarians, and stand as honor guard when he
rides into the city as Napoleon. History is truly lots of fun!
Museum Educational
Services
The museums offer their own educational programs
especially for school classes. These encompass topic-related tours and
programs, adapted to the respective age group.
Insider tip: With
the Antiquity Card School (combination ticket for school classes), you can visit
the center of the ancient world in Germany at a favorable price. For
only € 6.00 per student (in groups of 10 or more), you can visit the four Roman
structures (Porta Nigra, Imperial Baths, Amphitheater, Forum Baths), and the Archaeological Museum (Landesmuseum). The Antiquity Card School is available at our information
counter at the Tourist Information at the Porta Nigra or at the respective
monuments.
Please note: The Antiquity Card School is valid for one week.
