Metz is ideally situated, less than three hours by rail from Paris, just over an hour to Luxembourg or Germany. The train station retains a certain old world charm (think of the idyllic European stations from the late 19th century) while remaining logical and well organized.The tourist information staff is multilingual, but the train information staff seemed to mainly know French (one spoke a little bit of English). Those who don't know English in addition to their native French often know German. Regardless, they are friendly and willing to help!There are cafes and shops in the station as well as places to wait for trains if you are leaving Metz, and the station is only about a 20 minute walk from the centre-ville. There are plenty of nice places to stay, eat, and shop around the station, as well as a bike rental shop. Visit Metz!

Architecture is beautiful and worth the walk to visit. Inside has been more modernized and has cafe to relax before venturing out again.

We arrived at this terminal on Bastille day. The building seemed out of place. It was later on that I realised that it was built by the Germans when they still owned this province. There was an explosion by the entrance but everyone went by their business. A cherry bomb! Like everything French, the trains were 40 minutes late! Boy their trains are ugly compared to the Swiss.

Very nice building. Outside and inside. Worth taking the time by a nice day to go and discover the various sculpture

More like a gothic castle than a station, this is one impressive building, all medieval knights and dragons. Worth seeing in the daytime and also when lit up at night. The restaurant Le Grand Comptoir is in part of the station building and is well worth a visit. There is also a very beautiful bookshop at the rear of the newspaper store.

I had to catch a connecting train for Paris. It was my first station and city in France. I found people and information helpful. Unlike the perception, everybody spoke in English to me.

I loved the mix of massiveness and the Arabic touches of the arches, the information office has to be one of most exclusive offices in the world!
