Took a short ride from Luxembourg to visit Trier, a very fascinating and interesting place steeped in history. The Roman gate is like being in Rome . Take the small tourist "train " ride around the town

We thought it was a little spendy to get in but received an informational pamphlet and actually had a great time, so well worth the fee! We wandered around, climbed to the top while imagining we were back in Roman times, and went underneath to where the cells were-kinda creepy-but sure gave us some insight. We were the only ones there at the time so had some fun pretending we were Gladiators and hearing our yells echo. Great step back into time.

These ancient baths, once frequented by Constantine, have stood for over 2,000 years.

The magnitude of the underground chambers at this site are unbelievable. A must see! There are a lot of renovations ongoing at the site so it is difficult to see and appreciate the tall exterior of the Kaiserthermen. There was a brochure in English to explain the site.
