    Judengasse
    by Helga67
    Coming from the Porta Nigra and just before you reach the main market there is a lovely small alley on your right hand side called Judengasse (Jews' alley). It is nice to walk through it. The alley leads into the former medieval Jewish Quarter. Nowadays the Jewish community is quite small in Trier.

    See the "church in the cliff" or buy mounted semi-precious stones. Almost the whole town sells mounted semi-precious stones. A dealer in the marketplace gives demonstrations on how he processes raw stone into jewelry. To contact the dealer for demonstrations, call 06781-1546.

    Take time to sample some of the German creations. the pretzels are warm, soft, and cheap. take a map and see all the sights. It should only take a few hours to see everything.

    what a screwed up photo
    by sargentjeff
    We walked around the city quite a bit to find this place, and with the help of the map which I lost finally found it. Karl Marx was born in Trier, which at that time (May 5, 1818) had fewer than 10,000 inhabitants.

    My favourite place in Trier was the Market Place. It's a beautiful square with wonderful houses, a beautiful fountain and the Church of St. Gangolph dominating the south front.

    "Thermae"

    See the Roman buildings and remainders of that time. Trier has many, but the highlights are the Amphy-theatre, the Thermae and the Porta Nigra.

    Trier is one of the oldest cities of Germany. I spent here half a day and it was very nice. Main attraction is of course the old city.

    • I would see Porta Nigra. We came off-season so there were no boat trips but a trip along the Moselle is something I will definately do next time. Also, if you're there in season, go wine tasting in the villages.

    All of it! From taxi drivers to restaurant staff, everyone was very friendly.

    Go to the Porta Nigra A Roman port from the second century. It is the only big part of the wall surrounding the ancient city wich has survived.
    Another part is the Arena /amphitheatre, which was admitted in the later build wall, and wich was also used as a port to the city
