Trier's market fills the Hauptmarkt, the medieval market square, and spills along to the Domfreihof in front of the cathedral. The 2026 market is the 46th. Simeonstraße leads into the square from the Porta Nigra, the Roman city gate, so anyone walking in from the station passes it on the way to the stalls.
Worth knowing
- The last day is 22 December, so plan Trier before the final Christmas rush elsewhere.
