Trier - German city near the Luxembourg and French borders. I have always been impressed by the fact that the cities of Trier, Luxembourg and Metz share the "big" pop concerts that they would not get otherwise (Rolling Stones, K-pop, etc.) and have a bus service for fans going to and from the concerts for each city.
