What the experts agree on
Trier's stunning medieval market square anchored by a 10th-century cross, ringed with gabled Renaissance townhouses and historic buildings like the Rotes Haus—a walk through centuries of architecture in one plaza.
“The main market square of Old Trier—lined with gabled houses from several ages—is easily reached via Simeonstrasse.”
