Tourist Information Saarlouis

Tourist Information Saarlouis (Marc Schweitzer)

Welcome to "Rendezvous Saarlouis". 

Located in the heart of the former fortress town, the Saarlouis Tourist Information welcomes its guests in modern premises centrally located at the Grosser Markt, with parking directly in front of the door and very good bus connections from the train station into town. Stores, restaurants and cafés frame the original parade ground. In 2017, the Tourist Information, which is jointly operated by the district and the city of Saarlouis, was awarded as Saarland's first hearing-friendly Tourist Information (network "Hearing with Heart"). Modern lounge furniture and counseling stations invite visitors to linger and consult at the Tourist Information. The district of Saarlouis is characterized by a varied coexistence of industrial culture and beautiful nature as well as the proximity to the French border. Saarlouis is an ideal starting point for numerous discovery tours in the region. The team of the Tourist-Information Saarlouis will be pleased to give you tips and suggestions for your individual stay, and will be at your side with advice and assistance. We are looking forward to meeting you!
