Spring in Trier – when the Moselle wakes up.

Spring in Trier – when the Moselle wakes up.

In spring, Trier shows why the Romans built exactly here: the sun is already warm on the Hauptmarkt, the vines are budding in the Olewig vineyards, and the first cyclists are having coffee by the Moselle. Easter, the Easter holidays, the Dutch Meivakantie (May break) and the May bank holidays are the classic travel weeks – and exactly the weeks when a holiday apartment with its own kitchen and parking really pays off.

Our apartments are dotted around the old town, in the wine village of Olewig, on the Saar near Konz and in the Kyll valley near Kordel. Self check-in by code, bed linen and towels included, free parking at the house – and hosts who can tell you where the cherry trees are blossoming in April.

What spring in Trier has to offer

🐣Easter in the Roman cityOn Easter Saturday the Hauptmarkt traditionally belongs to "Rhythm & Wine", with wine from local growers and live music; the cathedral and the Liebfrauenkirche mark Holy Week and Easter in style. And from mid-March the wine stall is back on the Hauptmarkt.Easter Sunday 2027: 28 March – book the Easter holidays early
🚲Cycling season on the MoselleThe Moselle cycle path starts right on our doorstep: flat, paved, with ferries and stations for the way back. In spring it's quiet and green – the loveliest time for a stage to Bernkastel or Saarburg.You can leave your bikes at the house

Which apartment for which spring

For cyclists and walkers: the Kylltalperle in Kordel sits right on the Kyll cycle path and the Eifelsteig trail, and the Saartal Suite in Konz-Filzen on the Saar cycle path – both with room for bikes and a station in the village.

For Easter in the city: Red Rock Home and LOFT34 in Pallien, a quarter of an hour's walk across the bridge to the Hauptmarkt. The Olewig Suite is in the middle of the wine village, ten minutes from the cathedral by bus.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

When is Easter 2027?

Easter Sunday 2027 is 28 March. The Easter school holidays in Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands fall around this date – in our experience, these weeks sell out early.

Can we store bikes safely?

Yes, there is space for bikes at all our houses – in Kordel and Konz right at the house, in Trier in the courtyard or in the apartment by arrangement. Just drop us a quick email or text if you're bringing bikes.

Is the Moselle warm enough yet in spring?

For cycling, walking and visiting the city, April to May is ideal: 12–20°C, plenty of sun, not much going on. The boat trips and wine stalls usually start in April, the outdoor pools not until May.

How long should we stay?

Three to four nights are enough for Trier, a cycling stage and a trip to Luxembourg or Saarburg. Stay longer and you usually pay less per night – the current price is shown in the booking calendar.

Do you speak Dutch or English?

The website, booking and all check-in information are fully available in Dutch and English. We reply by email or text in German and English – quickly and personally.
