Freiburg’s old town enchants with its winding lanes, historic façades and the famous Freiburg “Bächle” streams – one of the most beautiful city quarters in southern Germany. Tradition and modern life merge here in a unique way: small boutiques, inviting cafés and the scent of fresh market stalls around the Minster shape the atmosphere. Staying here means diving straight into Freiburg’s culture, joie de vivre and southern flair – all right on your doorstep.
Just a few minutes’ walk from the Apartments at the Münster, the Schlossberg rises above the city – a place where history and nature come together. From here, a sweeping view opens up over the old town, the Black Forest and, on a clear day, all the way to the Rhine plain. Old walls and remains of former fortifications bear witness to the hill’s long past. Particularly popular are the Kanonenplatz with its panorama and the 33-metre-high viewing tower. Whether on foot or with the Schlossbergbahn funicular – the ascent is well worth it and invites you to breathe deeply, explore and marvel.
Freiburg’s city centre invites you to relaxed strolls and shopping trips. Well-known brands, individual boutiques and regional offerings alternate along the way.

A real highlight is the Münstermarkt: fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers and regional specialities every day around Freiburg Minster – perfect for browsing, tasting and enjoying.
