Attractions in Metz

Metz is rich in culture, open spaces and history. As well as the museum complex, cathedral and the famous Pompidou modern arts centre, Metz also contains many smaller locations worth your time. In particular, the Portes de Allemands is a great medieval gate, fortress and bridge, completed in a style unique to Metz. For a more modern day out, Metz also contains a good number of retail and shopping centres to the north of the city, as well as the outdoor water park and adventure playground, Walygator Parc.

Places to Visit Outside Metz

Metz is located at the heart of the beautiful Lorraine countryside. If you want to go into it for a day trip or extended stay, the nearby Lorraine National Park contains plenty of nature reserves, campsites and hiking trails to visit. It should be noted that Metz is also only a relatively short drive away from a number of other countries. Day trips to Germany (in particular Frankfurt), Luxembourg (City), and the south of Belgium are not out of the question. If you wish to stay in France, the towns of Thionville and Sarreguemines are close by.
