ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Freiburg is a picturesque city that lies on the outskirts of the Black Forest. Spoilt by the sun and favored by a warm climate, Freiburg is a young university city with a positive southern flair.
Outstanding and impossible to ignore: the Freiburger Münster (Freiburg Cathedral).

The masterpiece of Gothic architecture was finished in 1513. If you love spectacular views and are not afraid of stairs, you should definitely climb the 381-foot-high tower.
You can cool down your tired feet in one of the numerous Bächle (little waterways) that are unique to Germany.

They meander through the Old Town and pass charming cafés and outdoor restaurants. Here you can sit amongst locals and students, enjoy the regional cuisine and experience the relaxed mentality of Southern Germany.
Freiburg is one of Germany’s greenest cities and has a large number of biking and walking tracks.

By car, the Black Forest, Alsace or Switzerland are only one hour away.
Freiburg is a very laid-back place. However, besides your casual outfit, you should also pack something smart in your bag because the city’s motto is: Love your nights! Theater and opera invite you to great performances, local bars and clubs simply celebrate life. You have the choice of discovering the region by foot or by bike.
