Experience

At the starting point in the centre of the city, you can look forward to a delicious ice cream, the best ice cream parlour in Saarbrücken. With ice cream in hand, make your way to the State Theatre, where a short history lesson awaits you. Later, you can stroll down the stairs heading for the Saar. Afterwards, a walk along the Saar can be enjoyed in good weather. After a short time you reach the end point of the tour. Here, at the Ulanenpavilion, you can enjoy a well-deserved Saar picnic while the children have fun on the playground. Could this little tour be made enjoyable for you? Then let’s go!

Route

Saint John Market

The Saint John Market began its history in the Middle Ages and was largely destroyed in war. In the 1970s, the square was redesigned and declared a pedestrian zone. Now it is the heart of the city of Saarbrücken.

Henry’s Ice Cream Manufacture

If you visit Saarbrücken and you like ice cream, you have to go to Henry’s.

Saarbrücken State Theatre

The Saarbrücken State Theatre was opened in 1938 and has a capacity of around 900 spectators. In addition to theatre performances, there are also musical theatre, ballet and musical productions and a symphony orchestra.

Ulanen Pavillion

In this small pavilion right on the Saar, you can enjoy many Saarland beverages such as Bruch’s Zwickel (a Saarbrücken brewery). From the grill, you can get classic bratwursts, and the Saarland classic Schwenker.

Picnic area Am Staden
