Trier is Germany's oldest city — founded by the Romans in 16 BC as Augusta Treverorum, with the UNESCO-listed Porta Nigra (the largest surviving Roman gate north of the Alps), the Imperial Baths, and the Constantine Basilica all still standing. The Old Town is small (population ~110k) and walkable; the Mosel Valley vineyards start at the city edge and run downstream to Koblenz. Germany's Freelance Visa (Freiberufler, 3-year initial residency) covers non-EU remote workers; Schengen 90/180 otherwise. The structural draws: Roman heritage density unmatched outside Italy, Mosel Riesling wine country adjacent, and Luxembourg 30 minutes away by car for cross-border arbitrage.
