Route
The Porta Nigra
The city gate was built around the year 180 AD. Weathering has given the light brown sandstone a dark colour. This is why people have spoken of the Porta Nigra since the Middle Ages. This is Latin and means “black gate".
The Museum of Simeonstift
The collection is incredibly diverse, featuring paintings, sculptures, arts and crafts, Coptic textiles, furniture, and small East Asian sculptures.
Coffee Fellows Trier
True to the motto “Feel at Home”, the Coffee Fellows team welcomes everyone with their specialty coffee, fresh bagels, and snacks. Vegetarians, vegans or tea drinkers are not left out either.
The Basilica of Constantine
The Basilica was built as an audience hall for the Roman emperors who resided in the city in the 4th century. In the early Middle Ages, the burnt-out ruin came into the possession of the Trier bishops.
The Electoral Palace
As electors, the prince-bishops governed the Electorate of Trier and presided over the Archbishopric of Trier as archbishops. It’s also been used as a barracks by both French and Prussian troops.
The Palace garden
The palace garden is a popular recreational and excursion destination in Trier. The garden was laid out in the 1930s in the style of a French garden and is freely accessible.
