The best A good place is probably the ''Verteilerkreis'' in the east of the city, which is a roundabout that connects the local roads with the motorway. From the main station it's about 30 minutes walking, but you can also take bus 1, 30, 85 or 86. The bus stop is called Nells Park. It is a good idea to use a [[sign]] at this spot.

== Hitching out ==
=== East, North, South towards everywhere ===
If you want to go from the ''Verteilerkreis'' via the [[A1 (Germany)|A1]], [[A48 (Germany)|A48]] towards [[Koblenz]] you may get a lift to [[Wittlich]], which is before the first [[service station]] on the motorway. You can take it, because the ramp in Wittlich is a good place to hitch on. From ''Verteilerkreis'' you have good chances to hitch to [[Hahn]] Airport. === West, North ([[Bitburg]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Belgium]]) ===
Take the bus to ''Fachhochschule'' and exit at the end station. There is enough space to place yourself, uphill is the motorway to Luxembourg and the road straight (B 51) is heading to Bitburg.
=== [[Boat]] hitchhiking and [[Train hopping]] ===
You will find a cargo railstation north of Trier in Pfalzel. Maybe you will be lucky here (not tested).
You will notice many Barges on the Mosel River. You may have a chance asking at the watergate. It is on the left Mosel side between the camping side and the industrial area in ''Zewen''. Remember: hitchhiking a barge is very slow. Maybe you can also ask at the small yacht club. It is south of the Watergate.
== Public transport ==
=== Bus ===
Trier has a good bus network, which will be the first option for getting around. Due to the busses are relatively expensive (€2.40 for a single ticket) walking may be a good option, because Trier isn't this big (you can walk from the very north to the very south in 1 hour).
There is a regular Bus connection to Luxembourg served by [http://www.voyages-weber.lu/bus/rgtr/ Voyages Emile Weber] (line 118) which is a cheap option and costs only 7€ for a day ticket which you can also use for the local busses in Luxembourg City.
''Trier Verteilerkreis'' is a stop of the regular bus line between [[Metz]] <-> [[Thionville]] <-> Luxembourg <-> Trier <-> Hahn Airport. The Bus have to be booked in advance at [http://www.flibco.com flibco.com] and is quite expensive.
=== Train ===
Using the Train served by [[Deutsche Bahn]] is expensive. From Trier you will find a Line to Luxembourg, Koblenz and to [[Saarbrücken]] / [[Kaiserslautern]]. You will definetly (at least at daytime) be faster hitchhiking than using regional trains.
== Sleeping ==
===Hospitality exchange networks===
There are living many students in Trier. So Trier has a great hospitality exchange network community. You will definetly find accommodation via [http://www.couchsurfing.org couchsurfing.org] or [http://www.hospitalityclub.org hospitalityclub.org] but it can be difficult during the semester vacations. Maybe you can also try to contact [[User:Quarim|Quarim]]
===Camping===
In Trier you will find a camping side on the left side of the Mosel River. It is 6,25€ for an adult + 4,30€ for a tent.
There is also a camping side in Igel which is 4€ for a tent and 4€ for an adult per night. The camping side in Igel is about 12km from the city center.
===Hostel===
There is a youth hostel on the right side of the Mosel river and very close to the city center. You will get a room from €18,40.
