Trier (24 Apr. 2013)

The weather was great in Trier. It's a city at the boundary of Southwest Germany. Since the location is a little bit far from the main city of Germany, not many foreign visitors come here. However, it's still a nice city to go if you have time. Here, you can see some remains of Rome, like 

Trier Hbf

Porta Nigra, which you'll see walking along with the road straight ahead from Hbf

you can go up (ticket needed) to see the view of Trier, which I didn't.

the Markt

Dom (left), and Liebfrauenkirche (right)

Basilika

the garden in front of the Palace

Soon, I walked through the town to get to Amphitheater. Although it may not as majestic as Colosseum in Rome, I was still impressed by it.

entrance to underground

the original appearance was quite unbelievable!! It was a wall of the entrance and here's the highest place at that time.

Walking backward from Amphitheater, you'll see Kaiserthermen. I couldn't imagine what it looked like before until I saw the model some archaeologists constructed.

the underground was cold and dark and ....scary if you walk alone....

It was the entrance to the building in ancient times.

Kaltbad, means cold bathing.

Now

Before

If you have more time here in Trier, you can visit another remain similar to Kaiserthermen, the Barbarathermen.

Barbarathermen, another remains in Trier

Alter Kranen, an old architecture adjacent to the river Mosel

I didn't know what's the statue was actually...

the view of Mosel along the railway leaving from Trier to Saalbrücke

Trier is a good place for a half-day trip.
