Freiburg at Christmas time

Around Christmas, Freiburg is so festively decorated and illuminated that the city not only enchants its guests - but also us locals! In the old town, in many neighbourhoods and even on the Schlossberg Hill, Christmas markets lure visitors with the scent of mulled wine and handicrafts. Freiburg Minster is the venue for Christmas carol singing, restaurants serve up special festive menus and you can find the best presents on a leisurely stroll through Freiburg's small, individual shops. We locals know: Freiburg has its very own magic at Christmas time that is well worth discovering!

You can find even more winter magic in Freiburg outside the old town: for example, at the Winterzauber in the Kastaniengarten on the Schlossberg Hill, where you can enjoy mulled wine, regional Baden wines and sweet and savoury dishes with a view of wintry Freiburg until the beginning of February - and try your hand at curling! And we can also recommend local Christmas markets in other cafés such as La Cornerie or in neighbourhoods like Herdern:
