Known as The City of Bridges, Saarbrucken is the capital of the federal state of Saarland and fuses the charms of a mid-sized town and the attraction of being the economic and cultural center of the province.
It sits right on the border to France, incorporating cultural influences and maintaining a close relationship of cooperation between the two countries.
Despite being known for its heavy industry in the past, Saarbrucken is nowadays famous for its future-orientated research, especially in the field of computer technology. Commuting is never an issue in this lovely town due to its excellent sycling network which means that you can rent an apartment in Saarbrucken only focusing on what surroundings you prefer- from lovely views to the Saar river to proximity to bars, cafes and museums.
