The top attractions is the gothic catheral with its famous steeple and the market surrounding it since medieval times, embedded in the carefully preserved medieval city centre. There is Germany's oldest guest house and many small shops and boutiques. As a University town Freiburg offers a multitude of cultural activities, museums, art galleries and art dealers, renown concerts, cinemas, theatres, public lectures and talks. Enjoy the many cafés, wineries and restaurants with the famous local cuisine. If you wish so, we offer some advice and we offer a guided tour with a focus on either the singular geological situation, the rich history, viticulture or green energy. Spring and autumn suggest tours into the volcanic Kaiserstuhl or Markgräfler Land, discover sunken roads and special nature protection areas. Summer rather suggests visiting the summits of the Black Forest, and the nearby valleys Elztal, Glottertal, Münstertal.
