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

We start the day with a walk along the Moselle passing the Roman bridge and ancient cranes before arriving at Porta Nigra

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
