Trier, Germany: Main Market

Some of the major commercial streets of Trier have converged on this square. That's why it is called the Main Market - or Hauptmarkt.

It's been this way for centuries. The market has been here for more than 1,000 years. You can pick up flowers or fresh food, or just people-watch. The architecture in the area is interesting too.

Now, a tip. There's a big building on the corner toward the top left of the photo. Click on it to blow it up a bit. If you do, you'll see a familiar logo.

Yes. It's a McDonald's restaurant.
