This building is a beautiful example of gothic architecture. This building alone was was worth the trip out to Saarbrücken. The streetcars pass right in front of it as well. If you’re looking for public transportation, they are a great and inexpensive option.

This activity can be a bit long but it was really interesting to learn about the History of the region. The place is definitely beautiful. If you plan to visit it, think about improving your language skills as the descriptions are in German and French!

I went to the downtown with my husband and my 5 months old babe. The place is very nice for walk, to have a coffee or ice cream. There is also a plenty of nice restaurants. They have a lot of influence of French cousine . The weather was very nice, there is a lot of shops in the street, and the buildings are very traditional from Germany. The city is very clean, ordered, and beautiful. Very relax to go with family to enjoy the afternoon. Definitely worth to go!

We visited this zoo now for the first time and we have been delighted because the zoo is integrated in nature very good and you can enjoy the walk partly under the trees. They have some rare species we have never seen before. There is a part with goats where children can touch them. We couldn’t see all animals because our smallest daughter had to sleep and we had to leave after almost 2 hours there. The best is having sandwiches or something else to eat and to spend there more time enjoying. There is also possible to buy something to eat and to drink. Parking place is simply too small, but it is possible to park on the street uphill. And tickets price is really favorable!!!
