The vibrant capital of the Saarland, riverside Saarbrücken has a wonderfully easygoing feel. A fantastic fusion of French and German elements, it’s a beautiful city with a striking Baroque centre, and a lively annual events calendar. Chic and characterful, the best place to stay in Saarbrücken reflects the identity of the city itself.
Saarbrücken’s history goes back 1,000 years. Meander along narrow lanes, step into the gorgeous Ludwigskirche and admire the neo-Gothic Town Hall as you wander independently or with an expert guide. The imposing Saarbrücken Castle is not to be missed — this is a real Baroque masterpiece. Delve under the Schlossplatz to explore medieval ruins by torchlight, or discover the trendy boutiques and bistros of the St Johanner Markt square. Long, lazy lunches are a real treat during the warm summer months.
Tour landscaped gardens, take little ones to the popular Saarbrücken Zoo, or unwind with a boat trip on the Saar River. Nearby Völklinger Hütte, a former ironworks-turned-museum, offers a well-considered insight into the region’s industrial past. You’ll also find hiking and walking trails aplenty in the area. Do look into theatrical and ballet performances as well as open-air concerts before your visit.
