This huge cathedral has been preserved from the era of Constantine the Great.

Very interesting place, worths a visit for sure! It tells the story of Constantine the Great, later Saint Constantine, who was crowned Romans Emperor in this place and later on, he transferred the Roman Capital from Rome to Contsantinople (Byzantium). I was worried that opening hours are limited, and I suppose that many people may be dissappointed by the fact.

Loads of Celtic and Roman artifacts. I would say it is only second to the treasure trove in the Naples, Italy Archaeological Museum. There are Celtic items on display that were found in burial pots: arm and leg rings, belt buckles, weapons from 1300 B.C.!! You could easily spend three to four hours in here. Celtic warrior grave artifacts are here. Magnificent Roman tombs with elaborate artwork from the 1st and 2nd century AD are plentiful. Definitely pay for the audio guide, it is very informative. Many examples of 2,000-year-old Roman flooring in this excellent museum. Medusa, Oedipus, Amazon Women, chariot racers, boxers – just to name a few artwork pieces preserved over the past 2,000 years. Medieval Christian statues are plentiful as well. 8 € entrance fee for adults, 4€ for kids, believe me this place is worth it!!

5. Liebfrauenkirche, Trier

Reviewed By Steveage - Rexburg, United States
This church feels like 'the little sister' next to St. Peter's Dom Trier. Built in early 13th century, it’s one of the earliest Gothic churches in the world. Built entirely on Roman foundation. It has some 15th century wall paintings. Stained glass is a recent add. Church layout is Greek Cross. Burial place of archbishops as far back as 1581. Under this church are numerous excavations not open to the public, however, one area has glass with a railing around it so you can look down in the dig area.

8. Karl Marx House

The birthplace of Karl Marx, preserved to reflect the environment in which he developed his early ideas on class conflict.
Reviewed By RebeccaHTraveller - Crawley, United Kingdom
This house where Karl Marx lived as a child gives plenty of detail about his life, all presented via interesting exhibits. A lot about Marx himself and communism in general, as an added point of interest there is also a nearby pedestrian crossing with a light in the shape of Marx.
