Overview

Come with a native and living Freiburger on a relaxed and varied city tour through the old town of Freiburg. Enjoy the most beautiful sights, coupled with the most important background information. The tour is pleasantly level and is easy to tackle.

We walk relaxed through the historic heart of Freiburg. From the Rathausplatz to the eastern old town centre, we walk along the "Bächle", which is so typical for Freiburg.

With the courtyard, the Old and New Town Halls and the historic House of the Whale, we walk through hundreds of years of history.

A highlight is undoubtedly Münsterplatz with the majestic Freiburg Minster.

Continue to the jewels Alte Wache, Historisches Kaufhaus, Konviktstraße and Schwabentor. From there we go to the romantic snail suburb, the old artisan and commercial district.

At Augustinerplatz this guided tour through the old town ends.
