Designed to be a fortress for the Roman Empire in the Middle Ages, Xanten is one of those gem towns that is hidden away from tourists in an open field of amazement. One of the few things to do in this small town is to visit the old Roman walled city, where history comes alive as everything from wells to cellers have been preserved for the public. There is also a massive coliseum that imitates the one on Rome where my friends and I reenacted the scenes from the movie The Gladiator. Aside from history, Xanten also hosts a large waterskiing area where my friends and I had one of the best times of our lives. There's not much to say about this petite town, except that it's a large part of history and should be kept away from the tourists as to preserve the city's fragility.
