Top 10 Free Things to do in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Wurttemberg

January 3, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

The city of Freiburg im Breisgau sits austerely on the edge of the Black Forest. Home to one of Germany’s oldest universities and a Gothic sandstone cathedral, it’s a hub for academics and medieval history buffs. Chug German suds at a local brewery, then hop a cable car up Schauinsland mountain, where astounding views and a solar observatory await.

Munsterplatz

This town square, built next to and named after Freiburg's famous cathedral, is still a major center of the city's social activity.

Reviewed By Tanina

There is a nice market near the Cathedral. And Rote lange is absolutely tasty! And next week-end we had fish sandwiches. As well as bought some samples of German sausages and French cheeses. Besides we bought some of the farmer produce of an excellent quality for daily use which was very helpful as we were staying in an apartment nearby for 9 days with self service! Recommend very much!

Freiburg Cathedral

Reviewed By maryjos742 - Tallahassee, United States

The market surrounds the the cathedral in the center of the old section of town. The market gives the square a vitality with vendors selling local, seasonal produce, flowers, food, and other products. Concerts on the cathedral's organ occur every Saturday morning and feature both traditional and contemporary works. You can take tours of the cathedral by the docents and even visit the workshop where new stonework is carved using traditional tools.

Schwabentor

Reviewed By foodybyheart - Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

The Schwabentor was the entrance to the old town for everybody coming from east, meaning the black forest. The Street leading from there into the center ist called Salt Street, Salzstrasse, and marks an old celtic trading route. Why it is called the "Swabian" Gate is a long story that you better find out attending one of the fabulous guided tours, many of them provided in English.
