T R I E R was once known as Rome Secunda.
As the Romans spread over Europe, they established satellite capitals for ruling their distant colonies. Trier became a very important Roman city in those day. Today you can still witness the many Roman buildings (Porta Nigra, Amphitheater, ..)
Trier is well located, close to the border with Luxembourg and France, where the Ruwer and Saar Rivers meet the Mosel. It's not only an interesting city for its rich Roman architecture but also for its Mosel wine.

Nice page! I once lived in Trier for six months (a long time ago) and even took a course on how to be a tourist guide there, but then left before I could actually do it. (When I was in high school our big football rival was called New Trier.)
Mooie streek , vooral voor mototfreaks, je ziet er GEEN Peugeot's !
As a big fan of all things Roman and also Gothic, there's plenty here to fill my appetite. Well done.
Very informative page. Plan to visit Trier later this year.
A great page of an interesting city!
Trier is fascinating. You do the town justice with your beautiful photos and well thought out tips.
I knew from only reading about Trier that I should visit, now having seen photos I'm desperate to go!
I spent many days picnicing under the PORTA NIGRA. Trier is a spectacular city &, thanks to your page, we can all see why.
Great page! Trier is one of my favourite cities in Germany. I love the marketsquare of Trier, so picturesque!
I lived in Germany for 3 years. Trier was one of my favorite cities to visit.
