It has a dynamic cultural life, centered on a number of high-calibre institutions : the Arsenal, the Opera-Theatre, the Philarmonie de Lorraine, the museums of the Cour d'Or covering all the art forms.

Metz is a nice town to live in and is filled with numerous parks and gardens that serve as one of the city's main attractions. Metz was awarded the European Prize as one of the top cities in France for its gardens and parks. Its well-preserved end restored historic architectural heritage takes visitors on a breathtaking votage to the past centuries.

As a main crossroads of the big communication routes in Europe, Metz has been strongly influenced by three of the pioneering countries in the construction of the new Europe: Belgium, Germany, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The city is a fine example of the lively crosscultural exchanges that are taking place in Europe today. Given its situation in Europe, Metz has attracted numerous companies from France, Europe, and abroad.
