EXPERIENCE MORE IN TRIER

Emperors and electors, Romans and revolutionaries – many have found the ideal place for their eventful gatherings in Trier.

True greatness comes from within. Anyone who stands in front of the Porta Nigra, the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps, the Cathedral of St. Peter, the oldest bishop's church in Germany, or the Konstantinbasilika, the largest column-free hall of antiquity, notices this and cranes their head upwards. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Trier is flanked by sensational excavations, exciting exhibitions and a traditional wine and cultural landscape. Starting from the main market with its cozy, half-timbered living room atmosphere, all this size can be reached in a maximum of 20 minutes. And this close proximity to each other makes it even more impressive.
