Trier Walking Tour
Trier, Germany
Why Walk Trier
Trier was Augusta Treverorum, once the capital of the Western Roman Empire and one of the largest cities north of the Alps. The Porta Nigra — a massive 2nd-century Roman gate — is the best-preserved Roman city gate in the world. Roman baths, a basilica, and an amphitheater survive throughout the city. Karl Marx was born here in 1818, and his birth house is now a museum.
