Three days are enough to take Freiburg to your 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 in small boutiques, let your gaze wander from the Schlossberg (castle hill) or explore the local Schauinsland mountain - Freiburg will show you its most beautiful, enjoyable and inspiring side in 72 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 three days full of lightness and joie de vivre.
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.
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.
After two days in the city, head out into nature - experience an unforgettable day on the Schauinsland and be enchanted by the vastness and beauty of the landscape. Even the way up is an experience, regardless of whether you are travelling in a sporty or relaxed manner. At the top, you will find a variety of ways to enjoy the mountains and experience the Black Forest.
In the morning, take the tram and bus directly to the valley station of the Schauinsland cable car. From here, the cable car takes you up to the top - past green meadows, dense forests and sweeping views until you reach an altitude of 1,284 metres.
Your day begins at the top in the fresh mountain air. You can take a leisurely stroll along the panoramic trails, take a shorter walk to the viewing tower or set off on a longer hike. You will be rewarded with impressive views - even as far as the Vosges or the Alps on a clear day. If you're in the mood for culture, visit the historic Schniederlihof farm or the visitor mine and immerse yourself in the history of the mountain. For the more adventurous, downhill scooters from Bergwelt Schauinsland are waiting to whisk you down into the valley. In between, rustic inns and mountain huts invite you to take a break - with regional specialities and unforgettable panoramas. In the afternoon, you can relax and round off the day with a final walk before the Schauinsland cable car takes you gently back down into the valley. Back in Freiburg, you can enjoy the evening with Baden cuisine and then round off your time in Freiburg in one of the cosy bars in the old town.
