Your journey through time begins here with a city map and a rucksack full of information on all the must-dos. Immerse yourself in the past with the interactive multimedia presentation ‘Roman Tongeren in 3D’. Fly from the Roman burial ground to the imposing city defence wall and over the aqueduct to the north. Explore the Roman temple site and enter a lavishly decorated villa.
For centuries, the Saint James Guesthouse Chapel offered shelter to searching souls. The sick, orphans, the elderly and pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela found a safe home here. Pilgrims still stop to visit the chapel, but tourists are especially welcome for information, a city map, a souvenir or some local produce for the road.
Before you leave, look around and experience how contemporary architecture is beautifully balanced with the original heritage values.
