Welcome to Freiburg
Freiburg, western gateway to the Southern Black Forest, has the happy-go-lucky attitude of a thriving university community. Framed by the velvety hills of the Black Forest, it is endowed with a wealth of historical attractions, led by the superb Münster. Add to this a lively cultural scene and an excellent range of restaurants, bars and clubs, and it’s easy to understand why Freiburg is such a terrific place to visit and to base yourself while exploring the Schwarzwald.
