 Europe starts in Saarbrücken. Here you are right in the heart of Europe. Saarbrücken is a German city right next to the French border. And you feel the European spirit in our city. Enjoy our Savoie firm, our friendly and open-minded people. You will love the life on our streets, the pedestrian zones and our places like the historic SanctiHona market. Or you will love our parks like the French-German garden. Culture comes first in Saarbrücken. As a state capital, we have a great variety of museums, theaters and festivals like the Max-Offels Film Festival. And events take place every day. Don't miss our sights like the historic castle, the city hall or historic churches like the Ludwigskirche or the nearby World Cultural Heritage, the Folklinger ironworks.
