Europa Galerie, Saarbrucken

Get your fill of shopping at Europa Galerie, a popular mall right next to the city's main train station. More than just a run-of-the-mill shopping center, this mall is a major architectural attraction. The modern center incorporates a historic 19th-century building and features a groundbreaking roof design, noted for utilizing cutting-edge technology and special materials to protect the building's interior from rain and snow. The innovative roof installation is mounted on aluminum frames, opening up the mall's main space up to the sky and allowing sunlight to stream in all day long. Many visitors drop by simply to admire this landmark building, but you can spend hours browsing the mall's many stores, which sell everything from books and magazines to clothes, shoes, and electronics.
