What to Expect

Professional and qualified tour guides will share the history of Freiburg im Breisgau with you, combining charm and expertise. As you stroll through the Old Town, discover the city’s sights, especially the cathedral and our famous Freiburg Bächle.

The Freiburg city tour begins in front of the Tourist Information office on Rathausplatz or at an agreed-upon meeting point. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the Old Town with its Rhine pebble mosaics, medieval buildings, and the Münstermarkt, the largest and most beautiful open-air market in the region.
Buildings such as the Haus zum Walfisch and the Historic Department Store are highlights of the Freiburg city tour. Famous visitors to the city, such as Emperor Maximilian I and Erasmus of Rotterdam, lived here.
The Freiburg Cathedral (from the outside) naturally attracts the most attention: Famous medieval master builders such as Erwin von Steinbach and Hans Niesenberger of Graz helped Freiburg im Breisgau become home to one of the most impressive churches in the Upper Rhine region, which remains the heart of the city to this day.
In almost every alleyway of Freiburg’s Old Town, we come across the Freiburg “Bächle,” which give the city its unique charm. Learn all about these cheerfully flowing little streams and how important they once were to the city’s water supply.
