The oldest city in Germany, Trier features no less than nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, most of which are classified as Roman monuments.
Some of these include the Porta Nigra, a city gate built in 180 AD; the Amphitheater, a huge arena that could seat up to 20,000 spectators at a time; and the Church of our Lady, or Liebfrauenbasilika, which is the oldest Gothic church in Germany.
There are also numerous museums to explore if you want to spend a day immersed in the history and culture of the city.
However, there are also many other attractions that make Trier a popular destination for travelers. For one, the city is surrounded by vineyards that are famous for producing some of the best white wines in the region.
There are also plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafés where you can while away the time.
If this sounds like the kind of place you’d like to spend a vacation, keep reading for a list of all the other sights and attractions Trier has to offer so you can start planning your trip
