Visit Freiburg im Breisgau

A beautiful old town with excellent restaurants, shops, bakeries and cosy bars. Small enough to walk around its cobble streets with quant little streams and easy to explore further with a very good public transport system and cycle lanes as is usual for Germany. The wooded hills that surround the town are a joy to walk in and offer great views. The stunning gothic cathedral tower of lattice stonework is well worth the many steps for the views. A picturesque tram and bus ride takes you to the Schauinslandbahn cable car to explore the black forest mountains around Feldberg. Hard to navigate the walks up there though as the maps and signs are confusing so easy to get lost without a phone. On a rainy day a great value museum day ticket gets you into all the museums for one price. One of the main old landmarks, the Martinstor gate tower is sadly ruined by the huge Mcdonalds sign on the side. Why was this allowed, like putting a coke cola sign on the Eifel tower.

Frieburg im Bresigau is located on the edge of the Black Forest and is a good centre for visiting that area. It also has an interesting old town (with a good range of restaurants) a good public transport system and easy access to the surrounding countryside

Great University town. Seemed safe even at night. Ate in a variety of places including the market at Munster plaza. Great experience. Getting around is easy and quick because of the good tram service. Not very crowded. Weather was a little unpredictable.

Freiburg has so much history and a beautiful shopping district with a lot of restaurants very close to transportation. The food is amazing and it is so easy to get around in Freiburg. The people are so kind and very helpful. It is very important that you remember that all shops are closed on Sundays, with the exception of most restaurants. Be sure to have Euros on hand for this day, as a lot of places do not use credit cards. Check out City Park and get awesome views of the city from the tower, easily located by taking Landwasser to the fourth stop at Am Bischofskreuz. It's behind the Studentensiedlung am Seepark or the "Stussie," which is student housing for Freiburg. You have to try the tea and delights at the Turkish bakery, Sevgin. It is just a short walk from the main train station. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful town with many restaurants and shops. Old city is perfect and you must walk to the hill to enjoy the city view. From Freiburg you can make day trip to Strasbourg, Colmar, Basel, Baden Baden.

Freiburg is a very nice city with a beautiful cathedral in the main square. There are a lot of pubs, restaurants and typical German breweries where everyone can find the original taste of southern Germany. Very good nightlife. The city is located at the border of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) which is really worth to visit.
