Freiburg's
Christmas market on Rathausplatz and in Franziskanerstrasse in the
heart of the historical quarter offers visitors a wide range of
traditional arts and crafts, including straw shoes from the Black
Forest and colourful wooden toys. The highlight is the candle
workshop where visitors can watch candles being made to order.
Freiburg is located on the edge of the Black Forest and
forms the centre of one of Germany’s most attractive holiday
regions.
The city’s most famous monument is its magnificent
cathedral, a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Around
the cathedral, the Old Town enchants with its colourful
market place and a wealth of impressive historical buildings
dating back to various periods. Tradition and modernity
coexist in pleasant harmony.
