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

The Main Market center of Trier is a busy and comfortable centre. It is the access to the • the Steipe, the city council's banqueting house, • the city church St. Gangolf (through the little baroque gate on the south side) • access to the Trier Dom, • access to the Jewish Quarter After the Viking destruction of 882, the archbishop moved the market from the river to the present site, the Market Cross still commemorates this event from 958. The Market Fountain from 1595 shows St. Peter, the patron saint of the Cathedral as well as the city, standing on top, surrounded by the four cardinal virtues of good city government, Justice, Strength, Temperance, and Wisdom (originals in the Municipal Museum), but also by monsters and frolicking monkeys. The fountain, just like the Cathedral and the parish and guild church St. Gangolf as well the Steipe, are all rooted in the 300-year struggle for supremacy in the city.

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.

One of the many stunning houses on the cutest market square in Germany. It gives access to the old Jewish quarter. Of course, not much is left of the historic atmosphere, but it is worth to have a look.

So glad that this beautiful building was rebuilt after the war. It still represents such a big part of the Trier history. The detail on the building has been well discussed but take time and look at it. Also look for the official yardstick that was used by the traders, on the side of the wall. Such an interesting and beautiful building you have to see it

One of the many stunning houses on the cutest market square in Germany. It's difficult to vote a "best one", but this pharmacy certainly is a looker. And has been there for centuries!
