Returning we pass by the Dom that we plan to visit tomorrow and then stop to eat at a traditional restaurant some good food
Our major stop today is Porta Nigra the former gate to the Roman walls and the former church of Medieval times now being a gate again and a museum
We spend an hour in the surprisingly interesting Simeonstift City Museum with exhibits focused on city history and fashion
We stop for the first time in the central plaza we are going to visit again and again to enjoy the beautiful historic houses and St Gangolf nearby
The first Roman ruin we visit in Trier is the Thermen am Viehmarkt a new ruin for us that was discovered in 1987 and opened to the public in 1998
First stop on our exploration of Trier is the peaceful St Antonius church mostly destroyed during World War 2 and since reconstructed
We spend a few nights close to Trier downtown in a one bedroom apartment with an impressive jacuzzi in the middle of the living room
We also explore the other side of the Gera River where the newer section of the old town is located concentrated along the beautiful Anger Square
