I was not prepared to see such wonderful antiquities. We were able to walk through these wonderful ruins of the Roman baths. I was truly impressed about how much area we were able to cover and see during this visit. If history is something important to you this is an area not to be missed.

Well worth the entry fee. Outstanding example of Roman engineering. Plan about an hour for this stop.

These were absolutely impressive. They look like old ruins from the street but once inside they are fabulous. The underground tunnels and chambers that serviced the baths are more impressive than the size of the pools. If you have children or grandchildren, they must see this sight. My wife and I spent nearly 2 hours just exploring the grounds (and... More

Made the trip from Frankfurt to Trier on a beautiful summer day and enjoyed the lovely countryside all the way there.The Kaiserthermen tunnels and amphitheatres have clearly been well maintened over the past two millenium. Quite amazing to see the great craftsmanship and history of something that was built so long ago. You can really get a feel of what... More

The external look of this attraction is impressive when you look at it from a distance. Though mostly in ruins, it gives a glimpse of the once grand Imperial Baths. Interestingly, this never served the purpose it was once intended to as it never got completed. As per me, this is the 2nd most impressive attraction after Porta Nigra. It... More

For me one of the most impressive places in Trier. A must to visit. It is really impressive to see, how this "Thermen" were built at that time, master pieces... I guess people that haven't got a great imagination or are not into architectural master pieces, might struggle with this location. All the rest go there and admire the Romans... More

Very impressive and large Roman bath with typical layout and hallmark looks. Exploring them is interesting, educational and worthwhile. The bath consist of two parts - bath and palestra, an area for exercise. Even if you have seen Roman bath in other areas of the world you are likely to enjoy the Imperior Roman Bath of Trier.

This is a very large complex and not too expensive. The sheer scale is impressive, although one realises that much of it has been restored rather than conserved. Particularly impressive was walking the underground tunnels which are amazingly well constructed. It doesn't take too long to get around but is definitely worth the visit. There is a small exhibition at... More

Obviously these baths having nothing on the the Roman baths in the UK (but to be fair very few things do) but if you want a ruin where restrictions barely exsist and a place to run around,with interesting history,it's definetly worth a trip!

The ruins of the Roman baths were some of the largest Roman baths north of the Alps. Honestly, when we first saw it, I thought it was pretty interesting but it wasn't until we went inside and underground that I was impressed. There is an expansive network of underground tunnels to explore.Our two year old loved running around the dark... More
