Metz Cathedral
If you can, visit on a weekday morning around 10 AM. It was much quieter then and I got great shots of the stained glass without crowds in the way. Trust me, it's worth it!
Don't skip the crypt area! I almost did because I thought it would be uninteresting. It has some cool historical artifacts and gives you a different vibe of the Cathedral.
I suggest bringing a light jacket or sweater, as it can get a bit chilly inside the Cathedral, especially if you visit in the colder months. I wasn't prepared and regretted it!
German Gate
My advice is to bring a good camera. The architecture is gorgeous, and you'll want to capture every angle. Also, take a moment to explore the surrounding area, it's less touristy and really charming.
I suggest visiting the German Gate in the early morning, around 9 AM. You'll avoid crowds, and the morning light is perfect for photos. Trust me, the views are stunning!
Temple Neuf
Don't skip the small park right next to Temple Neuf. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. I found it a lovely place to unwind after exploring the temple's architecture.
Church of Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnais
don't miss the chance to explore the nearby gardens after your visit. they offer a peaceful contrast to the church and are a great spot for some photos!
Saint-Maximin Church of Metz
Fort Queuleu
My advice is to take your time and really soak in the history. I rushed through my visit, but there's so much to see. Plan for at least 2 hours, especially if you want to grab some great pics too!
Gare de Metz
If you can try to visit early in the morning around 9 AM. The light streaming through the stained glass is stunning and there's way less crowd so you can snap awesome photos
I suggest exploring the park nearby after your visit. It's really lovely, and if you're lucky, you might catch some local artists performing while you chill out!
