The Freiburg City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to eat Schäufele and Spätzle like a local, how to reach the Schlossberg view in ten minutes from the old town, which museums deserve a ticket and where the evening goes once the beer gardens close. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that tells you why to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

The six Freiburg guides
Food guide
25 places
Sausages from the cathedral market, wood-panelled Baden Gasthäuser, beer brewed on the premises, Black Forest cake and the few modern kitchens that justify the bill.
Things to do guide
24 places
The cathedral tower and the Schlossberg, the museums worth paying for, cable cars into the Black Forest and the green spaces locals actually use.
Family guide
25 places
Animal parks that cost nothing, swimming lakes and thermal pools, cable cars, a silver mine, theme parks and tables where children eat well.
Nightlife guide
27 places
Beer gardens above the rooftops, Baden wine by the glass, student pubs that stay open late and the handful of clubs worth the queue.
Day trips guide
27 places
Black Forest summits, gorges and lakes by train and bus, Kaiserstuhl wine villages, and Basel, Colmar and Strasbourg roughly an hour away.
Budget guide
25 places
The cathedral and the hilltop views for free, an animal park with no entry fee, museums from €5 and nine places to eat for less than €10.

Three places from the guides
Feierling
Gerberau 46, by the Augustinerplatz
Freiburg’s own house brewery, pouring cloudy Inselhopf straight from the kettles behind the bar. Take a seat in the wood-panelled hall or cross the lane to the beer garden under the chestnut trees, and order the bratwurst plate with Sauerkraut. From the food guide.
Kastaniengarten
Schlossberg, above the Schwabentor
A hillside beer garden with the cathedral tower and the old town spread out below. A half litre is all you need, food is optional, and on a clear evening the sun drops behind the Vosges. From the nightlife guide.
Ravenna Gorge
Breitnau, near Hinterzarten
Waterfalls, wooden stairs and footbridges in a narrow wooded gorge, overlooked by the tall railway viaduct of the Höllentalbahn. The round walk from Hinterzarten is free and takes about three hours; in Advent a Christmas market moves into the gorge. From the day trips guide.
Play the trail, then open the guide
World City Trail’s Freiburg scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. The guides carry on from there: a Baden lunch in a brewhouse, a sunset beer on the Schlossberg, the cable car up the Schauinsland or a free afternoon in the botanical garden.
