Very nice! A good looking town.

Interesting city!

Very attactive place. :okay:

Nice pics, but Trier is so much more interesting if you know a bit of its history.

beautiful, the Porta Nigra is amazing :drool:

Maybe some further informations would help ;)

So here u go: Wiki-Article about the beautiful town of Trier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trier)

I really enjoyed that pics!:cheers:

Nice!

I've been to Trier many times. I like it pretty much there :)

Too bad their soccer team got relegated to Germany's divison 3.

The interesting thing about the Roman Gate is that if they cleaned all the pollution off it, it would be difficult to call it the "Black Gate" any more.

Beautiful, thank you very much for sharing your pics!! Is it near from Frankfurt Hahn airport, isnt it?

:uh: it is better dont clean nothing then....

nice city. There is a certain Prague feeling about it (by the looks of these picutres, I've never been there myself)

Wow! VERY beautiful city, it must feel very cozy, it looks very charming! :)

I really wanna visit it someday, really beautiful buildings. It's the oldest town in Germany, right? In what State is it?

Wunderbar! :colgate:

Germany has so many beautiful cities and as I can see Trier is just one of them! Lovely city! I liked it a lot! :cool:

In what State is it?

Rheinland-Pfalz (Renânia-Palatinado)....

This is amazing, is it an entrance to a small church?

Love the small towns of Germany.

How did it fare in WWII?

It's been 20 years since I've visted Trier. Really a beautiful drive along the river from Bonn. I found the city to be very beautiful. Some of these buildings have some strong Dutch characteristics.

Das sind Superbilder! Great pictures!

I've worked near Trier for half a year in 2006 and 2007, and I've visited Trier many times. Especially the old market square is nice.

thanks :)

@Mplsuptown: Which buildings do you mean?
@GeneratorNL: May I ask where exactly you worked? ;)

^^ Yes, you may:). I've worked in a holiday park called Landal GreenParks Sonnenberg in Leiwen an der Mosel. It's a 20 minute ride from Trier.

I quite like the new midrise developments in the city. Petrisberg seems to be a very tasteful development though before I finalise judgement I'd like to see some street shots. Even the 60's areas don't look bad from a distance, though again, I'd like to see them close up.

Beautiful town, in my favorite part of the world. I could retire there very happy. I got very lost in that town once on my way from Nurburg (my favorite place on the planet) to Montpellier.

Hehe,, I remember that city, been there in my summer holiday, worst holiday, cause of the weather. I remember those streets and that port on the first pic!

nice pics, I've never been in that part of Germany... I should visit Trier one day...

very beautiful city indeed

One of most favorite cities in the world. I had one of the best holidays ever in Trier. It really is beautiful, and the people were fantastic. :banana::banana: The weather was amazing and the things to see and do, the food, everything was just brilliant.

Well worth a good look.

Wow, thanks for the endorsement Davee, I'll definitely have to get myself there now when I'm next in Europe, (since we share views on places in France I'd imagine your tastes are fairly similar to mine). :)

Shouldn´t Trier be renamed to Karl-Marxstadt?

^^ :rofl:

since Chemnitz discarded that name it's up for grabs again ;)

^^ Yes, you may:). I've worked in a holiday park called Landal GreenParks Sonnenberg in Leiwen an der Mosel. It's a 20 minute ride from Trier.

I've been there three times when I was younger. Must have been in 2000, 2001 and 2002 or so.

Trier is a nice city, but those suburbs are just plain ugly :bash:

Awesome photos!

I have a friend who grew up in Trier and she said that she used to play in Roman ruins on the outskirts of town everyday while growing up.

i studied Geography at Trier university from 1998 to 2004. Back in the 90s much of the area shown on the picture was wasteland. All these little houses were constructed for a fair in 2003.



http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8759/tr000on2.jpg

from 1998 to 2000 I've been living in these little green shoe boxes at the left center of the picture. They were constructed in 1981 whereas the the other buildings date back to 1975-78 except the brick buiilt cantina (1991) to the right
Brings back great memories.

Trier town looks very nice :) nice buildings

My beloved hometown! :)

But those city outskirts, I have to say, are pretty ugly compared to the beautiful historical center.
