Today marks the first day of spring, which means (hopefully!) better weather to explore beautiful cities. A prime example of cities that truly come to life in spring, is Trier. In my experience, any city is better to explore with a temperature above 20 ºC, but Trier truly outdid itself. Here are my top 5 best activities to do in Germany’s oldest city, when the sun is out and the flowers are in bloom.
Visit a wine event in Trier
Spring kicks off the wine festivities season in the Moselle region, which means lots of events for wine tastings and more! The region is known for its white wines, so be sure to try out the local varieties. Alternatively, take part of an organized wine tasting on a boat on the Moselle, or in Germany’s oldest wine cellar. 
Shop at the Trier’s Farmer’s Market
Every Tuesday and Friday, local and regional vendors come together on Viehmarket Square to sell their fresh products on Trier’s Farmer’s Market. Take a stroll along the market when the weather is nice and support the vendors and the local community by buying their products!
Hike or cycle through the beautiful nature surrounding Trier
The city is surrounded by stunning nature, which is just waiting for you to explore. Go for a hike to see the most beautiful views, or rent a bike to make your way around the region. Whether you go independently or with a guide, you’ll be sure to enjoy the nice weather in this way! 
Take a SUP course
For those of you who want something more active, try taking a SUP course on the Moselle! Learn how to stand up and move around on a paddle board, while enjoying the scenery around you. Warning: we are not responsible for any blunders you might make falling into the water, like I did ;).
Do your own UNESCO bingo!
Trier is famous for its historic monuments, nine of which are on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Download the bingo card down below and see how many of them you can visit during your stay! The price if you get bingo? A well-deserved glass of local Riesling wine. Unless you do the bingo with kids, then you’ll have to settle for some lemonade ;). 
Hopefully, you’ve got enough inspiration for your stay in Trier with these tips from me, but if not, you can always book an audio tour from us, to fill up your time. Bonus: with the tour, you’ll pass seven of the UNESCO sites, so almost a full bingo! ;)
