Trier is famous for its ancient Roman ruins and religious artifacts. We didn't have time to see it all but we did manage to get in over 10km walking around looking at some of the many great sights in the area.
Of course one of the first places to see is the old Roman gate to the city - Porta Nigra that is about 1800yrs old! Pretty impressive and they still let people walk through the building.
Also in Trier is the Dom Trier which is another must see. Among the artifacts claimed to be held in the cathedral is the Seamless Robe of Christ and the Holy Nail claimed to be one of the nails used to crucify Christ.
Finally we went to the Amphitheater where they still actually hold gladiator fights every year. Guess we might have to take a trip back later this year.
wow, what a great trip.
