Freiburg is a charming and attractive city

1. Freiburg (Fribourg / Freiburg) is located in the southwestern border of Germany, close to France and Switzerland. Freiburg (Freiburg im Breisgau) is a municipality in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and the capital of the Freiburg Greater Administrative Region. It is located at the westernmost end of the southern Black Forest and has a population of about 200,000. Freiburg is considered by many to be the warmest and sunniest city in Germany. It is also one of the oldest and most touristic cities in Germany. 2. Surrounded on three sides by the Saline River, Freiburg is one of the largest medieval towns in the Üechtland region. More than 200 unique Gothic buildings from the 15th century give this ancient city an unparalleled medieval charm. 3. The old town areas in the low-lying moat areas, stone-paved paths and slopes, Catholic churches, 12th-14th century buildings, fountains, and 13th century churches, city gates, towers, bridges, etc. are still well preserved. Stepping into them feels like time has gone back. This is an important religious area, represented by the cathedral, with 11 churches, and it preserves many important documents and precious works of art. Even more impressive is the Fribourg Cathedral with its exceptionally beautiful stained glass windows. In 1283, construction began on the Freiburg Cathedral, which was dedicated to St. Nicholas and boasted a 74-meter-high spire with a panoramic view, and continued for several periods. 4. However, some believe that the most impressive is the Loreto Cathedral, which has Italian and early Baroque styles. In the Neufve district (in the lower neighborhood) you can take a funicular railway to the pedestrian area in the upper neighborhood. Freiburg is a vibrant university city where students from all over the world make it a cosmopolitan and diverse small capital. The narrow alleys are filled with boutiques, antique shops, coffee shops that cater mainly to students, and restaurants serving local specialities and foreign cuisine.
