Your perfect weekend in Freiburg

From the old town to the Schlossberg (castle hill)

Your first day in Freiburg

Two days are enough to take Freiburg to heart. Between charming old town alleyways, historic squares and cosy cafés, the city unfolds its very own rhythm: relaxed, lively and close to nature. Whether you take a stroll through the Münstermarkt (cathedral market) to sample regional specialities, browse through small boutiques or let your gaze wander from the Schlossberg (castle hill) - Freiburg will show you its most beautiful, enjoyable and inspiring side in 48 hours.

We have put together a route that will take you to special places, reveal the locals' favourite spots and create little moments that will stay with you. Let yourself drift, discover new things and enjoy two days full of lightness and joie de vivre.

First day

Morning & Lunch

The best way to get off to a good start in Freiburg: a stroll through the Münstermarkt (cathedral market), with a long Red sausage as a welcome snack. Take time to visit the world-famous Gothic cathedral and wander through the old town. Particularly beautiful: the picturesque "Konviktstraße" street, which takes you to the edge of the Black Forest.
For lunch, head to the Schneckenvorstadt district with its small, owner-run shops, good food and casual flair.

First day

Afternoon & Evening

In the afternoon, it's time for the Augustian museum. Here you can experience treasures from the Middle Ages to the Baroque in a modern setting in a former monastery complex. 
A good place for an aperitif in the early evening: the Alte Wache with wine from Baden right on Münsterplatz.

You can enjoy a delicious dinner at the Inn "Zum Roten Bären", for example, after which we recommend a walk to the Tanzbrunnen at the glass university library. On warm summer evenings, salsa, tango or lindy hop are played here, and you can get a feel for Freiburg's young, colourful side as a university city.

Our tip

Treat yourself to a little break in the countryside - a walk or a short stop at the Dreisam river will bring you even closer to the real Freiburg feeling. Here you can dangle your feet in the water, listen to the babble of the river and soak up the relaxed vibe of the city.

Your second day in Freiburg

After an enjoyable first day, Freiburg shows its relaxed side today.
Nature, favourite spots by the water and charming districts are waiting to be discovered. Let yourself drift, treat yourself to a coffee by the river and enjoy the day at your own pace.

Second day

From morning to evening

The day begins with a walk along the Dreisam river, followed by a picnic at one of the streams in the city centre at lunchtime.

In the afternoon, there's time to stroll and shop in Wiehre, the Art Nouveau district in the south of Freiburg, also known for its cosy cafés such as Förster Max.
In the early evening, head up the Schlossberg (castle hill): a short climb on foot or a ride on the train, where you can expect a dream view of the city and the perfect sundowner in the beer garden on Cannon Square.

To round things off: cinema, theatre, concert or wine festival - in summer, the city offers a great open-air programme.
