Trier Cathedral
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays is best, before tour buses arrive and for the calmest light. Late afternoon offers warmer stone tones for photos while crowds thin.
Budget tips
Entrance to the cathedral nave is free; the Cathedral Treasury charges a small ticket, typically around €5 to €7, with a combined ticket often available for the adjacent church museum. Check city and regional tourist cards for discounts, and note that attending a service allows free quiet viewing of the nave.

About
Hurtige fakta: Look up to see a jumble of styles where heavy Romanesque pillars meet airy Gothic vaults, a patchwork that reflects centuries of changes. A famous relic, the Holy Robe, draws pilgrims and curious visitors to the treasury and chapel.
Højdepunkter: Sneak into the small northern chapel and you'll find the Holy Robe kept under low light, the fabric's faintly ribbed weave visible behind protective glass. A single lantern illuminates the robe during rare showings, and many visitors say the hush and cool air make the stitch details look almost luminous.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the stone floors are uneven and can be slippery.
- Head to the western choir transept for the clearest photos of the nave vaulting and displayed relics.
- Avoid midday between 11:00 and 14:00 when tour groups and cruise passengers often arrive.
- Respect active services and check signage; flash photography is usually prohibited in the Treasury.
