travelfrosch Says: Inviting paths go along the Dreisam River for those who like to walk. The paths themselves are stroller-friendly, though you might have to negotiate stairs or rough paths to get down to them. We enjoyed a few strolls, including a rather long walk out of town in the direction...
hunterV Says: People coming to Town Hall Square can see the monument to Berthold Schwarz, the famous monk and the inventor of gunpowder. On the pavement in front of the town hall you can see nine city emblems of the nine twin-cities of Freiburg.I was surprised and pleased to see the...
hunterV Says: These are the biggest sights here:Rathaus - the historic Town Hall - where the newly married couples can be seen.Rathausplatz - Town Hall Square - is in front of the Town Hall. You can see a stream flowing through the square to the river. It flows through downtown...
Maryimelda Says: The buskers I saw in the Marketplatz in Freiburg im Breisgau were an absolute delight. These were definitely not your everyday run of the mill buskers. These were extremely talented young classically trained musicians, who were a joy to stand and listen to. I took this photo...
Nemorino Says: The university was founded in 1457, and today has more than 22,000 students, including over 3,000 from foreign countries. The liberal arts faculties are still in the city center.The building in the photo, known as KG I, has a strange motto engraved across the top of the...
Nemorino Says: The Freiburg University of Music was founded in 1946. The current building, on the east side of the city, has been in use since 1984.This is a good place to go for free or very low-priced concerts of classical music. Admission to most of the concerts costs all of six euros,...
Maryimelda Says: The interior of Maria Hilfekirche is really stunning. It is teeming with lavish statuary and fittings in the Baroque style. As I said before, I can find no history of this wonderful church, so I can only bring you some of my favourite pictures and recommend that you go and...
mustertal Says: I came across this little park on my way from the Train/Tram station into the City.It is dedicated to the Grape Vine and has every type of Wine Grapes that go into making their fine wines. There is also a recreational area and plenty of places to sit.It was always a stopping...

Dreisam Ufercafé: Dinner After the Party
travelfrosch Says: While we were wandering around looking for a place to eat, we couldn't help noticing the beer gardens were packed, and everyone was crowded around wide-screen TVs. The World Cup was going on, and Germany was playing. As it turned out, the game ended just as we were...
Schlappen - student and more pub
chancay Says: The Schlappen is the oldest student pub in Freiburg, already more than 25 years old. I was told that the Schlappen was once awarded as the most liked students pub in Germany (although I don?t know how they could investigate and compare this). Nevertheless it is a real cozy...
Greifeneggschloessle: Regional Cuisine with panorama view over old town
Loeffle Says: They offer a wide variety of regional dishes. So if you want something "typical" you should choose "Regio-Menue" or "Schlossberg-Menue".The restaurant offers also Brunch dishes! But the special thing is the location of this place, high above the city you have a breathtaking...
Greifeneggschlössle: Watch out for Bats!
Todd64 Says: My memory has been a little fuzzy but thanx to new VT member Zandra's note, I'm reminded that the name of this place is Greifeneggschlössle. Of course! How could I have been such a Dummkopf? ;o)Anyway, what makes this place unique, is that it's built on/in the side of this...
mustertal Says: The Tram system in Freiburg is very good, it's easy and cheap to use, and a good way to get around.If you have one of the Konus visitors cards then it's even better because it's free.They run frequently and are very clean, there are places for cycles and wheelchairs.
The Marketplatz....: Don't miss this....
Maryimelda Says: If you are looking for fresh food or flowers, you can't beat the Markets in the Muenster precinct. You will be amazed at the fresh meats and cheeses, fruit, vegetables and of course the sausage vendors. I'm not sure when the markets are on exactly. I was there on a Monday...
travelfrosch Says: One unusual feature of Freiburg are the Bächle, or mini-canals, running throughout the city. Originally built to deliver water and fight fires, the Bächle are now merely decorative. In some places, they are covered, but they are usually left in the open for children and...
Guidance on photography in churches: Homer's Rules
CatherineReichardt Says: Visiting churches is one of the absolute highlights of a trip to Europe, and provides a fascinating insight into the most powerful influencethat has shaped European cultures of the past couple of millenia.Unlike some other religions - where access to places of worship may be...
Maryimelda Says: In Freiburg im Breisgau, you will notice many open water drains throughout the city (baechle). Some are placed in very crowded areas (like the Rathaus Platz) so be careful and watch your step. You could sprain or even break an ankle if you tripped into one of them. On the...
Nemorino Says: The zoning regulations in Vauban forbid the construction of free-standing one-family houses, because the intention is to create a viable urban neighborhood that is easily accessible by bicycle and public transport, not a suburban sprawl that would be dependent on automobile...
C-Punkt - Information and Film about Münster
Loeffle Says: Here you can just relax after your trip through town, buying some souvenirs connected to the M?nster or just take a quick cup of coffee or tea.This place was originally the "M?nsterbauh?tte", where craftmen and artists built things to repair the M?nster. Today it is used as...
hunterV Says: Kaiser-Joseph Street is the central shopping street here.We began our acquaintance of the city with this street.The city has a special layout with two main streets connecting the town gates and intersecting at a right angle in the middle. The streets form a pedestrian...
