Frequently Asked Questions
At Zurlauben, a former fishing hamlet of tightly packed façades along the Moselle, about fifteen minutes' walk from the centre. The Porta Nigra is roughly 1.5 kilometres away, 15 to 20 minutes on foot on a slight incline.
Because it was founded under the emperor Augustus as Augusta Treverorum, and became in the 4th century one of the capitals of the Western Roman Empire. Two thousand years look back at you from the blackened stones of the Porta Nigra.
The best-preserved Roman gate north of the Alps, built around 170 AD: two storeys of sandstone arcades assembled without mortar, blackened by the centuries. You can walk its floors and look out over the roofs of the old centre.
Thanks to a Greek hermit. Simeon shut himself inside it in the 11th century; converted into a church on his death, the gate escaped demolition until Napoleon restored its ancient form. Without that accident, little would remain.
The route is linear, which helps: Porta Nigra, then the Hauptmarkt and cathedral 1.7 km from the quay, then the Basilica of Constantine and the imperial baths at 2 km. The amphitheatre, at 2.5 km, is best kept for longer calls.
The vast imperial throne hall, whose brick nave rises 33 metres without a single column. The effect on entering is striking: it is the monument that most surprises visitors who did not expect it.
Their arcades and above all their underground levels, where you move freely through the service galleries. It is a more physical visit than it looks, but it gives a very concrete sense of how a great Roman establishment worked.
Yes, its basalt piers still carry today's traffic. It is one of those details that stay with you: two thousand years on, the structure is still working.
Yes, in 1818. His birthplace on the Brückenstrasse is now a museum tracing the path of the most debated thinker of the 19th century. It is a short stop, easily slipped between two Roman monuments.
At Zurlauben itself, the little waterside quarter where 18th-century houses converted into taverns serve Moselle wines and regional dishes a few steps from the gangway. The terraces on the Hauptmarkt do the job during the day. Currency: the euro.
