With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Trier, 20 miles away, has to offer. Porta Nigra should be toward the top of your list here. Arena Trier and Cathedral of Trier are fantastic attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Saarburg, 25 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Saarburg Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Egon Mueller Winery and Saarburger Chairlift.)
