Tour of Trier: the magical and oldest city in Germany, where every stone has a story to tell. From the monastery with the remains of one of the apostles, a sacred place of pilgrimage for centuries, to the splendor of the Roman baths, which have seen many secrets of times long gone. From the majestic arches of the basilica, the largest surviving Roman hall, to the opulent Rococo palace of the electors. Admire the majestic Porta Nigra, the largest Roman city gate north of the Alps, and learn what treasures the oldest cathedral in Germany holds. Hear the story of the medieval obscurantism - the witch hunts that once engulfed the city. But the wonders of Trier do not end in the Middle Ages. Karl Marx was born here, whose ideas formed the basis of communism - a social system that has had such a strong influence on so many people. Cross the ancient Roman bridge that still spans the Moselle and experience the atmosphere of the Old Town Music Festival amidst historic artefacts and two thousand years of history.
