In a Nutshell—The Top Attractions in 60 Minutes

Experienced tour guides will give you a concise and knowledgeable overview of the interesting and entertaining details and stories of our city’s 900-year history—all in just one hour. Since the sights in our picturesque Old Town are often quite close together, you can explore a lot even in a short amount of time.

Just around Freiburg’s Münsterplatz alone, there are a multitude of fascinating buildings to discover, such as the department store or the Alte Wache. The cathedral tower watches over it all, and of course, Freiburg Cathedral plays a central role in this tour as well. There’s not only art-historical information to share about this Gothic masterpiece, but also plenty of entertaining anecdotes.

From Münsterplatz, it’s just a stone’s throw to the surrounding alleys, where we encounter the Bächle and their long history. After all, with the possible exception of the cathedral, there’s hardly any other Freiburg landmark that’s as closely associated with the character of our city as our Bächle, where the people of Freiburg love to cool their feet on hot days. You’ll also come across the unique Rhine pebble mosaics—for which Freiburg’s Old Town is famous—several times on this compact city tour. Behind many of these images in the pavement lie entertaining stories about Freiburg’s shops and their owners.
