The Archaeological Park is a place I go to every few years and each time it gets better. Roman Xanten was a significant city with merchants, traders, a large temple, a bathhouse and an arena. The scientists and educators at the park have been working consistently to explore the site and reveal what the can in a manner that's accessible and informative. On this last trip I managed to spend some in the reconstructed workshops of the craftsmen who made clothes and footwear for the Romans. It was incredibly informative and I learned quite a bit. I only wish I had more time. One of the great things about the park is that it's not overburdened with a lot of gimmicks. It's really quite a pleasant place that doesn't beat you over the head. You can spend hours there and focus on what you find interesting. If you are ever on the Lower Rhine this is a very worthwhile place to visit.
