Plan ahead to go underground and listen to spooky legends at the Trierer Unterwelten.
Oct. 29 - Nov. 21, 2026
Considered Germany’s oldest city, Trier was founded by Romans in the late 1st century B.C.
As “spooky season” draws near, go underground for an eerie festival that resides in catacombs, cellars, crypts, tunnels and more strange spaces.
The Trier Underworlds Festival spans over three weeks and has guided tours, live musical performances, theatre productions, art on display and cinema.
As you move through the festival, you will learn about history, myths and legends that include Germany’s oldest wine cellar, the Episcopal wineries and the Imperial baths. Purchase tickets in advanced.
