Do you enjoy a lingering walk around town on your holiday or admiring the latest trends and trying them on? And then relax in a small café with an espresso for some people watching? In that case the Parkhotel Weiskirchen is the ideal starting point for shopping sprees. A large selection of small and big shopping malls, pedestrian areas and outlets nearby fulfil every wish. In some cities you can even mix pleasure with culture and surely spend an entertaining day.
Shopping
Wadern
The next larger town Wadern is only 10 minutes by car from the hotel and invites you to stroll through the small pedestrian zone. Many shops, retailers and cafés tempt you with clothes, baked goods, flowers, decorations, books, chocolates etc... In the Haco shopping centre, a covered shopping arcade covering 11,000 m², you will also find another huge range of the aforementioned products as well as food, gifts, sportswear, garden furniture and much more! In addition, on the last Wednesday of every month, the market square hosts a large market and every Friday morning, fresh market traders sell everyday goods. On the second Thursday of the month, the market square is the venue for a flea market. The annual town festival ‘Waderner Maad’, which takes place at the beginning of June, is also very popular with both locals and tourists. Throughout the year, Wadern promotes itself with a variety of markets and events in the town centre.
Mettlach
The holiday and ceramics community of Mettlach is half an hour's drive from the Parkhotel Weiskirchen. Mettlach is well known for its location on the world-famous Saar Loop. But it's not just the famous river bend that makes Mettlach so attractive! The small ceramics and porcelain shops in the town centre and the large Villeroy & Boch outlet centre also play a large part in this. The products of the centuries-old traditional company are world-famous and you can buy a small selection of them in Mettlach or view them in the Villeroy & Boch brand experience world. Well-known brand companies also offer a factory outlet in the town centre.
Trier
The city of Trier not only boasts magnificent buildings from Roman times, but is also a shopper's paradise! Along the beautiful pedestrian zone, lined with ancient Roman relics, stretches a shopping mile that has something for every taste! The 3-storey Trier Galerie also promises special shopping fun. Cafés, bars, wine bars and restaurants invite you to take a breather, both in the gallery and on the banks of the Moselle and in the city centre. There is no better place to combine your shopping trip with a sightseeing programme than in the cultural city of Trier!
In winter, a visit to Trier's Christmas market is definitely worthwhile! Brightly lit wooden stalls and huts on the main market square and the cathedral forecourt will get you in the mood for the Christmas holidays.
There are plenty of parking spaces throughout the centre. Park-and-ride car parks are also actively offered in Trier.
Neunkirchen
The fact that Neunkirchen is a former smelting and mining town can still be seen today in the large blower hall in the centre of the town. The old smelting works area was converted into a modern event venue a few years ago and gives the town its face. Not far away is Neunkirchen's shopping centre: the Saarpark Center. On two floors, the centre houses over 130 specialist shops from a wide range of sectors. The very elaborate and seasonally co-ordinated decoration throughout the shopping centre creates an additional feel-good atmosphere. The colourful selection of bars, bistros, fast-food restaurants and eateries also makes the day a culinary experience!
At ground level, you can always leave the centre outside and linger on the forecourt in the pedestrian zone. The immediate location next to the motorway and the more than 1600 parking spaces right next to the Saarpark Center make shopping so much easier. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 9.30 am to 8 pm. The shops are also open on Sundays.
Saarbrücken
A shopping spree in Saarbrücken, the capital of the Saarland, is great fun! It's not just the city's attractive pedestrian zone with its wide range of shops that invites visitors to take a stroll, but also the Europa-Galerie Saarbrücken. Over 100 speciality shops are presented on three floors. For refreshments, enjoy the ambience of the cafés and bistros in the passage.
Markets are regularly organised in the pedestrian zone itself and in the small winding alleyways around St. Johanner Markt.
Over 1000 car parking spaces around the gallery make shopping easy. The shops are open for you from 9.30 a.m. to 8 p.m., as well as on Sundays when the shops are open.
