Freiburg im Breisgau Germany

Freiburg im Breisgau is a pleasant university city surrounded by the hills of the Black Forest in the southwest corner of Germany. It is a beautiful, walkable city known for being one of the sunniest of the country. Freiburg has one of the most beautiful old towns in Germany, flanked by typical channels, paved narrow streets and beautiful historic buildings. Freiburg's 11th century Münster is a very impressive red sandstone structure that dominates the skyline of the city and is the heart of the active commercial and market district. The exterior is a myriad of columns, angles, sculptures and topped by an intricately decorated spire standing above the platz. Make the effort to climb the stairs to the top of the tower for the fabulous views. The interior is equally rich in wonderful art with richly coloured and kaleidoscopic stained glass windows and a colourful and stunning high altar. Located at the square surrounding the Münster, we find the Altes Kaufhaus, the old merchant hall, with its red façade, and the Museum of City History. Close to the cathedral we have the historic and current city halls located at the Rathausplatz or City Hall Square. Freiburg is a laid-back, beautiful university city with a charming old town and wonderful atmosphere. There is nothing better than to sit in one of the beautiful cafes with a glass of wine and enjoy this contemplative city. The university and its students keep the city vibrant and cultural. It is a good base to explore this region with day trips to the nearby spa towns and the numerous hiking opportunities in the Black Forest.
