Trier is the oldest city of Germany, despite having plenty of modern buildings, many historical landmarks still well preserved and become an attraction around Trier that any visitors should visit. Below are few that you should consider to visit;
2nd - 4th picture; Trier Amphitheater
It is an old arena used during Roman Empire. It might look like nothing when you just standing on the surface but there is also underground area and tunnels that bring you around the arena. It is very tourist friendly as brochures and information board are available in few languages including english.
5th - 7th picture; Liebfrauenkirche, Trier
A grand catholic church in the center of the city. No entrance fee is required but feel free to give donation for maintenance of the place. It is a big area where an underground is also available for visitors. According to UNESCO, it is the earliest church built in French High Gothic style outside of France.

Porta Nigra or also known as Black Gate is located in the city of Trier, the oldest city in Germany. While visiting, keep in mind that entrance will be close 30 minutes before closing time which is 6pm. Entrance fee is cheap which only cost at 4€ per person but if I may be honest, there is nothing much to see in the building itself. I feel like it actually just enough to just admire the architecture from outside itself. But if you decided to go inside, keep in mind that spiral staircase will bring you to the top where you can enjoy the view but it is not wheelchair friendly.
