Before leaving Trier we drive up to the Mariensäule and after a short walk we enjoy the great views of the city from above

First thing today we revisit Trier University where we spent some time years back exploring the space age buildings and interesting campus

We spend most of the time in the unexpectedly comprehensive Rhineland State Museum with a huge collection of Roman tombs

The most impressive of the Roman Baths in Trier are the Emperor Baths especially due to the underground corridors that you can explore

We start the day exploring the free but interesting Barbara Baths near our AirBnB and walking across on the suspended walkway

The last major attraction for today is the impressive Roman Amphitheater located up a hill and difficult to access during the heat of the day

We pass a few times next to Basilica and the Palace of the Prince Elector through the beautiful park while entering the basilica for a quick visit

We spend a couple hours exploring the surprisingly expansive and interesting Trier Cathedral Museum

We spend some time exploring the Liebfrauenkirche the other Unesco WHS church in Trier and one of the earliest Gothic churches in Germany

One of the other major attractions in Trier that we are visiting today is the famous old Trier Dom including the Treasury chamber
