Culture, cuisine, leisure activities - the Saarland and the Greater Region have a lot to offer. Instead of the hustle and bustle of the big city, the Saarland is characterized by warm hospitality and lively interculturality: whether baguettes, wine and cheese from neighbouring France, international concerts in Luxembourg or one of the colourful city festivals in Saarbrücken - there is always something to discover here. All of this is just a stone's throw away from each other.
The Saarland itself is known for its good food. From Dibbelabbes to Hoorische, the motto here is "Hauptsach, gudd gess!". This is also reflected in the top cuisine; nowhere else is the density of Michelin-starred restaurants as high as in Saarland. The neighboring Moselle region also invites you to visit one of the countless wineries.
If you prefer to be out and about in nature, this is also the place for you. Whether it's a bike tour in the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve, a hike in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park or stand-up paddling on the Saar, outdoor enthusiasts will get their money's worth in Saarland. The densely wooded state in south-west Germany is known for its well-developed network of hiking trails and sustainable tourism.
The state capital of Saarbrücken has plenty to offer culturally. Several theaters and museums, a colorful nightlife and events such as the Max Ophüls Film Festival invite you to go out, discover the city and meet new people. Architecture fans will also find a rich industrial culture. This includes the Völklingen Ironworks World Heritage Site, which is one of the most popular sights in the world according to the travel platform TripAdvisor.
It is certainly a good place to live: the cost of living in Saarland is lower than in other regions of Germany, and the housing market is also quite well positioned. Would you like to know more? You can find more information on the website of the tourist office.
