Nice station, bathrooms were clean, i was able to easily walk around towards the city while waiting for my connection. Much seatings which is rare in train stations.

Even if you are not planning on traveling out of this train station, you should definitely stop by and admire the work of art that is Gare de Metz! Ranked as the most beautiful train station throughout France, the Gare features a beautiful Romanesque architecture and is in a very central location.

Very beautiful train station, i like the design and the architecture. It has everything for travelers. Like cafés or a place to sit. Also relay to buy snacks before the train. You take the bus from outside from the exit « le sablon » if you are have a lot of luggage there’s an escalators you can use. It’s very convenient train station for travelers.

Beautiful station from the outside. There is a Starbucks and other food options inside. Trains to Luxembourg should be paid only to Bettembourg as public transportation in Luxembourg is free. Only one hour and a half from Paris, Strasbourg and Reims.

The station in Metz was a central point of plans for a new urban area in Metz, now called the Imperial Quarter, which was built during the first annexation of Metz into the German Empire. In order to "Germanify" the city, Kaiser Wilhelm II decided upon the creation of a new district shaped by a distinctive blend of Germanic architecture. The district was conceived by German architect Conrad Wahn and is now commonly called the Imperial District. The railway station constitutes the cornerstone of this district, not far from the historic downtown. Its first aim was military usage[citation needed] and it had to answer a strategic need: For the success of the Schlieffen plan, the Kaiser had to be able to transport his troops from France to Russia in just 24 hours. This resulted in a sizeable station with platforms large enough to accommodate troops on foot and on horseback. So the Metz railway station was directly linked to Berlin via the Cannons Railway.

Pros: -many entrances and exists from both sides -a place to wait Cons: The parking entrance is through the platforms and not clearly accessible

Very cool place. Some great history to this place. Lovely buildings and such great design in the stone and columns. So pretty and worth visiting to just see for yourself. Nothing much can we said that's bad about this place. Take a look for yourself.

My two girls and I traveled from Metz into Paris for the first time this past weekend. I did not know what I was doing especially with the language barrier. But once the Ouigo office opened, I was able to ask and get help understanding what to look for and what to do. Everyone we met along the way was really helpful. Thank you for your kindness.
