Saarbrücken offers everything you can expect from a regional capital; it is a modern economic centre, a conference, trade fair, university town, and is an important cultural axis and an attractive place of residence. What more? France is just around the corner.
Would you like to get to know Saarbrücken and the locals? The town’s past and present are best discovered during a guided tour of the city. Saarbrücken’s architectural character is dominated by the 18th century Baroque architect Friedrich Joachim Stengels buildings, which are scattered all about the town centre.
The Saarland has a wide variety of museums in different areas of interest. Take the opportunity to visit important collections of the "Stiftung Saarländischer Kulturbesitz" (Saarland Cultural Heritage Foundation).
The State Theatre’s largest venue lies right on the bank of the Saar in the city center. The 869-seat auditorium was completely restored and extended in 1988/89.
