City Information

Saarbrücken is the largest city in the German state, Saarland. Germany's border with France bounds Saarbrücken on the city's west side. The bulk of attractions, accommodations, and businesses are located along the river Saar, which gave the city its name.
One of its most iconic landmarks is the stone bridge over the river Saar, built in the 16th century. Nearby, you’ll see the Saarbrücken Castle, an imposing Baroque castle that now hosts the Historical Museum Saar. From the castle, cross the river to the right bank, where you can stroll around the historic old quarter of the city and visit the Old Town Hall.
When it comes to dining, Saarbrücken certainly will not disappoint. Since the city has frequently changed hands between France and Germany as borders were drawn and redrawn, the cuisine implements the best of both cultures. St. Johanner Markt is a lively area dotted with bars, restaurants, and bistros to experience the hearty fare of Saarland.
Saarbrücken offers plenty of ground transportation options to head east into Germany or west into France. FlixBus, Sindbad, and BlaBlaCarBus operate most intercity bus service from the city. Travelers can also access the efficient German rail network, Deutsche Bahn, for both short and long-haul train routes.

Darmstadt is a large city in the state of Hesse, near Frankfurt. It is known as Germany's City of Science due to the many scientific institutions and academies within the city's limits. A long list of notable landmarks makes Darmstadt a worthy destination to explore.
One of the most popular landmarks in the city is the ruins of Frankenstein Castle, which is said to have inspired the world-famous novel by Mary Shelley. Another is the St. Mary Magdalene Chapel, used by the Russian imperial family during their visit to the city. Finally, if you're a fan of quirky architecture, don't miss the art-nouveau museum Institut Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt or the Waldspirale, a colorful, spiraling residential building built in the 1990s.
To begin your Darmstadt adventure, catch a bus or train, both of which usually arrive at the Zweifalltorweg station.
