id="tip-1"1. Take a walk among the secluded canals

The streams and canals of Freiburg city centre are a must-see during your visit. In past centuries, they supplied residents with water and served as drains. These days, they help to provide a pleasant climate in the city during the summer and are considered one of its primary focal points.

id="tip-2"2. Visit the cathedral with the most beautiful tower

The Cathedral of Freiburg is a must-visit. It attracts attention for its stunning tower that stands out among the roofs of the city centre and is known for its pyramidal peaks. The famed writer Carl Jakob Burckhardt defined the tower as the most beautiful in Christianity. It is unique because it remains original. Its 116 metres of height are preserved since they were constructed in 1330 and are not a later addition as is the case with many other historic churches in the area.

id="tip-3"3. Walk through the gates of the city

The defensive gates are another tourist stronghold of Freiburg. The Swabian Gate served as a key point of defence for the city because of its strategic location. There is also the Martin Gate which is the oldest and is part of the Freiburg walls that date to the 13th century. You should also check out the Breisach Gate. It is the only preserved gate of the city's Baroque walls and was built during the French occupation that began in 1677.

id="tip-4"4. Enter Fribourg's historic warehouses

The centre of Freiburg is also known for its historic warehouses. They were built in the Cathedral Square between 1520 and 1532 by Leinhart Müller. Beautiful shields and sculptures by Hans Sixt von Staufen adorn their facade in intense red. This was done in honour of the House of the Austrians.

id="tip-5"5. Climb the Fribourg Palace Mount funicular railway

A visit to the Fribourg Palance Mount is another top Freiburg tourist experience we recommend. From this spot, you can see wonderful views of the city and the Rhine Valley by hiking or relaxing in one of its typical German restaurants. Since 2008, visitors can reach the mount in three minutes using the funicular railway from the City Garden. There is also a recreation area with activities for children and adults that operates daily from 9:00 to 22:00.
