The Metz City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to eat quiche and choucroute without paying for a terrace view, which sights cost nothing, how the golden old town and the German-built Imperial quarter fit into one walk, and whether Luxembourg or Trier makes the better day out. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that gives every place a reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
La Winstub
Rue Dupont des Loges, near Place Saint-Louis
Wood panelling, Alsatian comfort food and plates that defeat most appetites: choucroute garnie, baeckeoffe, flammekueche and warm Munster. Come hungry and think twice before ordering a starter. From the food guide.
Église Saint-Maximin de Metz
Rue Mazelle, Outre-Seille
From the street, a modest medieval parish church. Inside, every window was designed by Jean Cocteau in the 1960s as his final work: strange faces, Greek myths and vivid colour, usually with nobody else around. From the things to do guide.
Chemin de la Corniche
Luxembourg City, along the old ramparts
A level path on the ramparts of Luxembourg City, looking straight down on the Grund, the Alzette and Neumünster Abbey. It costs nothing and starts a few minutes from the casemates. From the day trips guide.
Play the game, then open the guide
World City Trail’s Metz scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides take over when the game is done: a sandwich from the covered market, an apéro on Place de Chambre with the cathedral lit above you, a direct train to Luxembourg or a free museum for a grey afternoon.
