Located on the river Saar, where it got its name from, Saarbrücken, the capital of the Saarland, is a lovely city with almost 200.000 inhabitants. It has a lot to offer for both tourists and businesspeople alike: the French flair, the picturesque old part of the city, an extraordinary cultural life and much more.

Its location in Europe opens up further possibilities. France is a stone's throw away, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg city only about 60 kilometers. Everything is very close and you can reach the various places without stress.

If you are interested in the history of industry, it is well-worth visiting the site of the  Völklingen old ironworks, which is a cultural heritage site. It is possible to go in nearly every part of the old factory, which also serves as an exhibition centre with different temporary exhibitions.
