Metz is a very old city, full of charm and history – and it's no surprise that Metz's architecturally stunning buildings really dominate the things to do in the town. From the enormous Cathedral was built in the 13th Century and has some of the largest selection of stained glass windows in the world!Equally as beautiful are the many walks you can take along Metz's numerous waterways and admire the buildings from there – including Le Temple Neuf – remember to bring your camera.It seems a strange thing to find in France, but Metz has several Turkish baths that are very popular with the locals – so why not treat yourself and enjoy a day in a spa!

City center is not far and you can reach it by walking along the Moselle, the local river. Once arrived to your destination, the principal attractions to visit are the Place de la République, Saint-Louis Statue and of course the Cathedral with its 6.500m2 of stained glass.Note that if you are in Christmas period the city (like all cities in Alsace) will be wonderfully enlightened.
