Freiburg im Breisgau travel guide

In Freiburg Mediterranean flair and Baden hospitality come together.

Due to the exemplary renovatation of the historic city center, the medieval Bächle (open canals, about 20 inches wide and 8 inches deep, through which sewage once flowed) splash; students stroll - pondering the world or their student loan application - across fantastic Münsterplatz; out on the Dreisam River, the SC Freiburg team jogs; in the Haid industrial area with avant-garde industrial buildings, the inventors of the solar plant sit; in the western districts of St. Georgen, Lehen, and Opfingen, the long-time residents discuss the quality of the recent vintage and new asparagus recipes. A magnificent panoramic view of this pearl awaits you at the giant wooden tower on the Schlossberg.
