In terms of a Hotel Trier is the city in which a visitor should base themselves to explore the wider region. There is a rich historical legacy here, and the historical attractions and architectural sights should keep the most curious of visitors engrossed for their entire stay.
The Roman Empire has left a lasting legacy on this region, with architectural remains all over the area. The Roemerbrucke, or Roman Bridge, is the only bridge situated north of the Alpine region which is still used by regular traffic. A whole range of other interesting sights exploring the region’s Roman heritage can also be seen.
Visitors can see old Roman baths here, as well as one of Trier’s city gates, known as the Porta Nigra, which are evidence of the city’s long association with the Romans. There are also some well-preserved architectural relics of the medieval era in the city, with some important buildings reflecting the area’s long association with Christianity. A church known locally as the Liebfrauenkirche is an early example of the French-Gothic style of church construction in Germany.
A visit to Trier Cathedral is an experience to be savored for anyone with an interest in the history of Christianity in Germany, and some of its structure dating back to Roman times. The holy Tunic is a Christian relic which is kept here, but only displayed once every few decades. According to Catholic tradition, this is the garment Jesus was wearing at the time of his death.
A medieval and an 18th Century treadwheel are both on display in the city, relics of its industrial past. Located some 20 kilometres away from the city centre, visitors have another opportunity to explore the industrial past of the region at Besucherbergwerk Fell. This is where they can visit a Slate Mine Exhibition.
There are a number of museums in the city which explore the area’s heritage. Visiting the Rheinisches Landesmuseum provides one of the best overviews of the Roman period in German history. The Toy Museum of Trier provides fun counterpoint to the more serious venues.
The Mosel wine region is the third largest of Germany’s wine producing regions, and there is a long history of producing white wines with relatively low alcohol by volume. This figure is typically six to nine per cent for the region’s wines. They tend to be on the sweet side too.
While residing in a hotel Trier has much to offer anyone who plans to take in a slice of Germany’s history. With pleasant countryside, there is much here to enjoy and learn. A glass of the local wine helps everyone to relax as well.
What are you waiting for? Have got a more closer expect to the oldest city in Germany and have your Hotel in Trier.
