River walks and the weekly market made the trip, felt very safe, though weekends get packed with day trippers.
Buses run early and late but not very frequently, check the RMV app and keep some cash for small cafes.
April was unpredictable, bring layers and a light rain jacket. Quiet and pretty, not a party town.
Buy the Trier Card at tourist info, it covered museums and buses for two days and saved us money.
A bit smaller than I expected, nice ruins but might feel underwhelming if you prefer big-city buzz.
