Saarbrücken

🇩🇪 Saarbrücken

Saarbrücken, the capital of Saarland, is just across the border: ideal for a stroll, a good restaurant or a Christmas market. I go very often, in every season.

What to see in Saarbrücken

  • The Franco-German Garden (Deutsch-Französischer Garten), a large landscaped park for spring and summer.
  • The Christmas market in the Franco-German Garden, at the end of the year, very family-friendly.
  • 11 November at 11:11, the opening of the carnival season in town.
  • Karlsbrunn Wildpark and the Warndt forest, for a nature walk with animals.
