Get ready to step back in time in just 30 seconds as we explore the enchanting city of Trier, Germany. Founded by the Celts in the 4th century BC and later conquered by the Romans, Trier is not only the oldest city in Germany but also the oldest bishopric north of the Alps.

Trier's historical significance is unrivaled, having served as one of the four capitals of the Roman Empire during the Tetrarchy period. In the Middle Ages, the archbishop-electors of Trier wielded significant power, both religious and political.

Today, Trier's well-preserved Roman and medieval architecture stands as a testament to its rich history. Explore the iconic Porta Nigra, the Roman Trier Amphitheater, the Roman bridge (Römerbrücke), and more.

Don't forget to visit Trier Cathedral, home to the Holy Tunic and numerous other relics in the Cathedral Treasury.
