About Freiburg

Why Visit Freiburg, Germany

Founded at the beginning of the 12th century, Freiburg im Breisgau is a German corner of paradise, nestled next to other notable tourist destinations like Basel and Zurich in Switzerland, and Strasbourg in France. Moreover, Erasmus of Rotterdam, the remarkable Christian humanist with an extraordinary biography, spent a couple of years here. If this isnโ€™t already a good reason to explore this charming town, check out the list of its most significant landmarks to turn your Freiburg itinerary into a breathtaking adventure.

First and foremost, Freiburg im Breisgau boasts the Albert Ludwig University (aka Uni Freiburg), founded more than 500 years ago. A number of historically significant figures, including not only the aforementioned Erasmus but also Martin Heidegger and Edmund Husserl, the world-famous philosophers and scholars, have studied at this very alma mater. By the way, Uni Freiburg is the reason why the town always looks and sounds lively and vibrant: thousands of students living here turn Freiburg into a place full of fun and positive energy.

Be sure to visit the Freiburg Minster, a unique Gothic church best known for the fact that, unlike many other local sights, it survived the Second World War. A visit to this church will not only enrich your Freiburg travel experience but will also undoubtedly become the jewel of your tour. Here, you will be able to delight your eyes with views of the incredible stained-glass windows and elegantly crafted stone carvings.

If you find yourself feeling that the picturesque town has weighed you down with its rich history, it might be time to add some excitement and magic to your Freiburg journey. Discover Europa-Park, Germanyโ€™s main amusement center, considered to be the second most popular park after the renowned Disneyland. Are you curious about the unusual name of this tourist attraction? Well, the park consists of more than ten special theme zones, each dedicated to a different European country.
