In the heart of Europe: the Dreiland

Breakfast with a croissant in Alsace, lunch in Freiburg's old town and then dinner in Switzerland. Sounds hectic? Not at all! Freiburg's location makes a trip to Europe a relaxed day programme. It's just 50 kilometres across the Rhine to Colmar, and the train journey south to Basel takes just an hour. Freiburg lies at the heart of the three-country region - thanks to well-developed transport links, you can easily discover a whole host of different regions from here. From picturesque wine-growing villages in Alsace to the elegant spa town of Baden-Baden and the art metropolis of Basel. In Freiburg, cosmopolitanism is not just a character trait, but also a geographical fact of life.
