Trier is of course, the oldest city in Germany. It is a Roman city which dates back to the 2nd century and consequently has history abounding by the truckload. I found myself without a minute to spare and I still didn't have enough time to see all I wanted to see.
This is yet another very walkable city. I love this about Europe. So many of its cities and towns can be enjoyed on foot but with the option of good public transport when necessary. Trier is no exception. It is easy to walk around, but it also has a wonderful bus system which is quite easy to negotiate, if you're feeling weary.
I was trying on some clothes in the fitting room at C & A and when I had finished, I headed for the train station to take an afternoon trip to Saarburg. The train had just pulled out when I realised I had left my pouch containing my mobile phone and my house keys for home and one or two other small items in the fitting room. I jumped off at the next station and grabbed a taxi and went back to C & A only to find that the pouch was gone and had not been handed in. After putting the necessary stops on the phone, I continued on to Saarburg. Long story short, when I met up with my friend in Paris a few days later, he told me that my pouch had been found and was safe and sound. A very nice German lady had come into the fitting room after me and found it and showed it to her son in law who recognised it as belongng to an Australian. He then contacted his aunt who lives in Sydney, Australia and with info found on the phone she tracked down my son, Joel, who then contacted my friend, who was in Ireland at the time and when he met me in Paris, he was able to relay the good news. A few short weeks after my return to Oz, the parcel arrived with my phone pouch all intact. Hence I will always have fond feelings for Trier, not only because it is a wonderfully interesting city to visit, but because it is home to some very thoughtful and considerate people. I will always be grateful.
- Pros:Never a dull moment.
- Cons:Nothing so bad that I can remember it.
- In a nutshell:Here you will find the best of everything.

This town is a real"gem". If I ever visit Germany again I will make certain it is on our itinerary. Well done Kate.
What an interesting story of how honest people can go out of their way to help in need. You seem to have really enjoyed this nice town and its great heritage with so much Roman influence. Great comments and pictures
i donyt know trier at all - so thanks for the intro
The Roemer Express will be just the thing for me. Your opening page reminds me of somebody else that I know!
Nice page Kate
thanks for the BiH comments etc; was in Trier in Sept 1970...a while back!
Excellent pages, Kate! I can understand why you like it here, so much history, and so Old, so many Churches, and nice gardens, really, something for everyone! You made me smile with some of your comments!
We have friends in Trier and have visited several times but I've never got round to creating a VT page. Loved reliving memories with your tips and discovering new things too :-)
Ah, thanks again Kate :-) You showed me many reasons to visit Trier one day, more than Porta Nigra :-) The hotel sounds nice and I love the stories of your pouch and the angels, very moving!
G'day, mate! Thanx for your wonderful description! I adore Germany! ><><><><
