The central market square (Hauptmarkt) is home to a mixture of buildings dating back to the renaissance, baroque and later historicism. . On Saturday mornings, there is also a large farmers market taking place where you can buy local fresh produce. . . #trier #triercity #historicgermany #visitgermany #germanytourism #travelgermany #traveleurope #unescoworldheritage #exploringtheworld #offthebeatentrack #travelmore #travelwithme #traveltales #postcardplaces #bestcitybreak #amazingplace #roamtheworld #carrotsandtigers

One of Trier's most imposing ancient sites and perhaps the one it is most widely known for is Porta Nigra, the world's best preserved Roman city gate dating back to the 2nd century. . There were preparations for a music festival taking place right at Porta Nigra, with access to the monument limited and fences blocking part of the view. . I know, we all love a good music festival but had very mixed feelings about this being placed directly at an UNESCO World Heritage Site; there are certainly better places that don't need as much preservation and care for such events taking place? . Or am I too critical here? . What is your view? . . #trier #triercity #visitgermany #germanytourism #lovegermany #historicgermany #unescoworldheritage #traveldiary #adventureculture #exploringtheworld #travelwithme #amazingplaces #travelinspo #traveltales #carrotsandtigers

Trier, Germany's oldest city boasts a wealth of well-preserved Roman structures, which has led to its nickname 'Rome of the North'. . Trier Cathedral (the high cathedral of Saint Peter), the oldest cathedral in Germany is built on the site of a former palace dating back to the times of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. The palace was replaced by the largest Christian church complex from ancient times in the 4th century. Today the cathedral is home to a huge collection of art, architecture and holy relics. . . #trier #triercity #triergermany #germanytourism #lovegermany #historicgermany #germanytravel #traveleurope #europeancitybreak #adventureculture #traveldiary #travelmore #bestcitybreaks #traveltheglobe #amazingplaces #travelwithme #carrotsandtigers

Visiting Germany's oldest city with an incredible nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites seems to be a no brained. Yet surprisingly, Trier is often overlooked by international travelers. Thus if it is not already on your bucket list, your should put it there right now. . Pictured, Liebfrauenkirche (church of out Lady) was built in the early 13th century to replace part of the historic cathedral which originally was built ad a double church. Inside, it features a round floodplain that reflects the shape of a rose petal. . . #trier #triercity #triergermany #visitgermany #germanytourism #lovegermany #historicgermany #germanytravel #traveldiary #adventureculture #exploringtheworld #travelmore #travelwithme #travelinspo #amazingplaces #bestcitybreaks #unescoworldheritage #carrotsandtigers

The ancient massive defense constructions around Luxembourg City were removed in large parts after the city did not longer need defend itself from neighboring enemies. Yet part of the constitution along with several historic bridges remain standing. . It's always amazing to see how these ancient structures survive the centuries and in many cases are even part of every day life whilst several more recent conservations have already become obsolete- clearly proving that those old structures have been built in a much better way and some of the newer ones! . . #visitluxembourg #luxembourgcity #luxembourgville #discoverluxembourg #traveleurope #traveltales #travelwithme #amazingplaces #travelbloggerlife #culturetravel #historiccity #lovetravel #traveldeeper #carrotsandtigers

The lovely lower town of Luxembourg City quite tellingly called 'Grund' ; meaning ground in German, is located directly at the banks of the Alzette river. . The area is actually much less crowded than the upper town. Stroll along the river for some beautiful views of the historic buildings and quaint cobble-stoned streets. . If you don't want to walk down all the way from the upper town (or you don't want to climb up again), there is an elevator at Plateau du Saint Esprit near the Chemin de la Corniche. . . #luxembourgcity #luxembourgville #villedeluxembourg #discoverluxembourg #traveleurope #visiteurope #traveldiary #traveltheglobe #whereihavebeen #travelwithme #postcardplaces #places_wow #travelbloggerlife #carrotsandtigers
