Saarbrücken Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Saarbrücken Airport is about 15 km from the centre, with few flights a day: a taxi from the station takes about 20 minutes, while the RegioBus R10 connects the centre and the airport several times a day in 25-30 minutes. Those sleeping near the central station have the simplest connection, useful precisely because bus departures are few; the Nauwieser district, a few minutes further on, offers a different atmosphere with bars and restaurants, while a more outlying area to the south suits those travelling by car who want free parking.
