Trier, Germany


some friends recommended stopping here
we had never heard of it before
so i looked it up on tripadvisor
 
Trier is the oldest city in Germany
 
it has:
 
ancient Roman ruins
(including Porta Nigra - an 1800 year old roman gate)
 
it is the birthplace of Karl Marx
 
one of Emperor Constantine's throne rooms
(it's HUGE...but you're not allowed to take pictures)
 
turns out this riverside town is a hidden treasure!
 

 Porta Nigra
 
 enjoying German food and German portions!
 
 the market square
 
 benji the tour guide
 
 isaac discovered pockets in his sweater
he thought they were awesome
 
in front of the massive cathedral and neighboring church



 
we could have spent all day in Trier
if you are ever in Germany this is worth a visit
