Freiburg Main Cathedral With its steeple visible from nearly all over town, it won’t take you long to be drawn to Freiburg’s Gothic cathedral. Construction of Freiburg Munster started in 1200\. Building started in a Romanesque style but eventually changed to an elaborate Gothic style. The church became a cathedral in the 19th century and has remained the most important Catholic religious site in the city since.

Muensterplatz Visit this central square outside Freiburg Munster, the city’s main cathedral, to experience a bustling marketplace that takes place every day except Sunday. Muensterplatz’s market hosts up to 160 vendors selling groceries, handcrafted wares and souvenirs. At the northern end of the marketplace you’ll find a dedicated farmer’s market selling the best local produce available.

Old Town Hall Immediately next to the New Town Hall you’ll find the historic Old Town Hall, which was destroyed by bombings during World War II. While the decision was made to rebuild, the duties of the town hall relocated to the newer building and the Altes Rathaus became a tourist information center and historic attraction. Visit the Old Town Hall to discover its fascinating period architecture, learn about its history and pick up tourist information to help you navigate your way through Freiburg’s winding streets and diverse history.

University of Freiburg Walk the streets of the city of Freiburg, the capital of the Black Forest, and you will discover the Albert-Ludwig University, more commonly known as the University of Freiburg. It is nestled within the very center of the city. Spread across three large campuses next to Freiburg’s historic heart, it makes for an impressive place to visit. Enjoy the youthful vibe that can be felt all around the campus, and imagine the great scholars of the past who studied in this 550-year-old university.

Schlossberg Named for the French fortress that once occupied its peak, the forested Schlossberg is a favorite destination for locals wanting to escape the town center. With multiple walking tracks, shady Douglas firs and a beer garden at the summit that provides views across the Black Forest, it’s not difficult to see why. Those less inclined to hiking up hills will enjoy the scenic view from the Schlossbergbahn, a cable car that takes you from the base to summit.

Goethe Institute With 159 locations in 98 countries, the Goethe Institute, the Federal Republic of Germany’s cultural organization, is widely considered the preeminent way to learn about German language and culture. On its leafy street in the Old Town, Freiburg’s Goethe Institute deserves that reputation. Housed in an ivy-covered modern building, it’s the perfect place to refresh your German or start a new study of the language. Take a class, attend events or simply meet other German students to practice your Deutsch.

Schwabentor Gate One of the last remaining city gates of Freiburg, the Schwabentor stands on most trajectories from the city to the mountain. It is worth a closer look too. Decorated by three waves of artists who each added their own symbolism to the brickwork, the gate offers a unique window onto the self-conception of the people of the area. Stop in the adjacent square, known as the “Square of the Last Barricade of 1848,” a reminder of Freiburg’s past, and admire the sturdy masonry from a distance before approaching for a closer look.

Martinstor Gate The older of Freiburg’s two gates is one of the city’s most iconic structures and a great starting place for exploring the old town. Martinstor (Martin’s Gate) dates back to the very beginning of the 13th century, making it among the oldest remaining structures in the city. Surrounded by period architecture and cobbled streets, the medieval gate is a fantastic photo opportunity. Step back in time as you explore the area around Martinstor.
