Trier is Germany’s oldest city and the birthplace of Karl Marx. It is also a treasure trove of Roman history. In our Trier photo gallery, you will find photographs of the city’s main tourist attractions, including the historic Porta Nigra, but also more mundane, everyday views of this German city. Learn more about Trier’s history and attractions in our Trier City Guide.
