Metz is marginally closer to Lorraine Airport (20km), than Nancy (43km), making Metz the final destination for many arrivals. Metz is an enchanting mix of canals and islands which are set into the city's infrastructure and architecture. The Cathedral of St Stephen is undoubtedly Metz's major landmark, but the Protestant Church and the Metz Opera House will always hold a special place for tourists. The Pompidou Centre illustrates how this romantic old-world city blends the historic with the contemporary to perfect aplomb.
Nancy and Metz are connected on the convenient A31, and Nancy's local geography is defined by its huge UNESCO-listed public squares, particularly the cosmopolitan Place Stanislas and the adjoining Place de la Carriere. Stanislas ranks as one of Europe's best public squares and it's here that you'll find Nancy's renowned Fine Arts Museum.
