The Cathedral complex includes the Gothic  Church of Our Lady to the right of the cathedral.
The cathedral is massive but when you lot larn into the church building your focus is on the elevated sanctuary that holds the Holy Robe.   It is exclusively on display on rare occasions.

My Extra Day inwards Trier:

The tourist component brochure listed a broad assortment of things to create inwards  Trier.  Actually far to a greater extent than than I take hold e'er seen at other tourist offices.   English linguistic communication language  tours are offered during the 'high' tourist season.    

Trier has a brusk river sightseeing cruise.  If you lot are visiting 1 of the other rivers alongside castles together with medieval villages, I propose you lot wait.   Today the small-scale boat was total of schoolhouse children who were bored for the brusk hr long trip.   

The river this 24-hour interval was 'quiet' together with on the brusk trip I took in that location were no castles or ruins.

Another  Regensburg)  offers a large eating seat where you lot tin select a vegetarian meal, hot or mutual depression temperature dishes together with an amazing desert selection.  Solo diners take hold no pressure level to 'turn a table' together with the Sun filled room is most pleasant.
If you lot are non a shy solo traveler in that location are wonderful restaurants all over Trier.   

Of course of written report you lot could select desert first!

The hr spent doing laundry inwards a unusual province tin go interesting.  First you lot must empathise the instructions inwards a linguistic communication you lot may non speak.    Manage the right modify together with wait.  Often you lot tin discovery somebody for a pleasant chat.

Now I take hold a mini video for reference on how to create laundry inwards Trier.

Trier has a convenient train station inside walking distance of the see of town.  There is a shopping see close the develop station where you lot tin stock upward for go supplies or snacks for the trip.
(facing the station the entrance to the mall is to the right well-nigh  1/2 block)
