The comparison is daring, but no city north of the Alps offers seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites from Roman times. The Porta Nigra is often the starting point for a shopping experience with a touch of Dolce Vita — thanks to many stylish boutiques, restaurants, and hotels.
Ancient Heritage Plus Shopping Experience
2,000 years of history in 2000 steps to see and experience, that’s the motto for a tour of Trier. A visitor-friendly advantage is indeed the central location of the Roman buildings. Those who wish can be accompanied by a “Roman” city guide. However, concentrating on the historical facts about Augusta Treverorum can be difficult in bright sunshine.
The Hauptmarkt or the Domfreihof with its terraces often distract from the path. Also eye-catching are the constantly decorated shop windows of the small boutiques in the pedestrian zone. Neustraße is considered a hidden gem here with its small shops for fashion and craftsmanship. With around 20,000 students, Trier can also be described as a young city. This can be experienced at sunset on the Moselle riverbank in Zurlauben, the meeting point for many people from Trier.
SHOPPING
Shopping is Fun Here
Those who embark on a shopping tour in Trier often meet Luxembourgers, as for them, Trier is the fashion city of the Greater Region par excellence. Especially the small boutiques are popular with both local and foreign customers. Miranda Konstantinidou, a native Greek, founded the brand “KONPLOTT” after studying fashion design in Trier. Since then, her name has become synonymous with extravagant jewellery in the fashion world. Her store is located in the Trier-Galerie.
