The Dreikönigenhaus is centrally located on Simeonstraße in Trier's old town. It's easily accessible on foot from other major attractions like the Porta Nigra and the Trier Cathedral. Public transport options include numerous bus lines that stop near the Hauptmarkt, which is a short walk away.

Parking in Trier's city center can be challenging. There are several paid parking garages nearby, such as the Trier Galerie or Parkhaus Simeonstraße. It's often recommended to use public transport or walk if possible to avoid parking hassles.

The exterior of the Dreikönigenhaus is visible from the street and is free to admire. If you wish to visit the Coffee Fellows located on the ground floor, no ticket is required. Access to any historical interior spaces, if available, would typically require admission.

As the building's exterior is a historical monument, it can be viewed at any time. The Coffee Fellows on the ground floor operates with its own business hours, which you can check directly.

While the exterior is accessible, the historical nature of the building might present challenges for full accessibility. The ground floor cafe is generally accessible, but upper levels or historical sections may not be.

For the best architectural shots, stand across Simeonstraße to capture the entire facade, including the distinctive gable. Early morning or late afternoon light can enhance the textures and colors of the building materials.

Photography of the exterior is generally permitted for personal use. If you are visiting the Coffee Fellows, standard rules for cafes apply. Be mindful of other visitors when taking photos.

The Dreikönigenhaus is one of Trier's last surviving residential towers from the High Middle Ages, built around 1230 for a wealthy merchant. It's unique for its defensive features and distinctive Moorish-inspired architecture.

It features a unique Moorish style with large windows, pointed and semi-circular arches, and a magnificently designed gable. The changing colors of building materials and original patterns add to its visual appeal.

The name comes from a later legend associating the building with the Three Wise Men (Magi) who visited the Baby Jesus. This legend gave the medieval merchant's tower a more symbolic name.
