Saarland, Germany\u2019s smallest federal state, nestled on the border with France, is an undiscovered beauty \u2013 and a real travel tip for insiders. Gentle green hills cover the land, while the region\u2019s industrial legacy reminds visitors of its past as a mining center. And the people? They really know how to enjoy life \u2013 preferably with some solid food. These are our highlights in Saarland.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saarbr\u00fccken: A Cool Capital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saarland\u2018s capital, Saarbr\u00fccken<\/strong>, on the beautiful Saar river, is a rewarding mixture of residential areas and lively, cool districts. High on a hill sits the city\u2019s \u201cWhite Castle\u201d, sharing an elegant square with the \u201cSchlosskirche\u201d (previously a church, but now a museum of religious art) and the state parliament. If you are looking for hip caf\u00e9s, restaurants, pubs, second hand and vintage stores, just ask for \u201edas Viertel\u201c (the Quarter). Everybody will know where you want to go; the Nauwieser<\/em> district<\/strong> has made itself a name as the cultural heart of Saarbr\u00fccken far beyond the city limits. Not all the old houses in the area have been renovated yet, giving this creative quarter an authentic shabby-chic charm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
