We have put together even more excursion ideas in and around Freiburg for you here – from Europa-Park and the Black Forest to the Kaiserstuhl.
Just a few steps from Wohnen auf Zeit lies the Stadtgarten - a peaceful oasis in the heart of Freiburg. Winding paths, colourful flowers and ancient trees invite you to linger. For a special view, the Schlossbergbahn takes you effortlessly up the Schlossberg, where you can enjoy the panorama of the city. In summer, concerts bring the pavilion to life and make the Stadtgarten a lively meeting place.
Just a short walk away, the Schlossberg rises above the city. From here, wide views open up over Freiburg, the Rhine plain and the Black Forest. Historic fortress remains and the 33-metre-high Schlossberg Tower tell of the city’s past. Well-maintained paths invite you to stroll, or you can comfortably take the Schlossbergbahn to the top.
Freiburg city centre has something for every taste: modern shops, charming boutiques and regional markets invite you to browse. In Kaiser-Joseph-Straße (“Kajo”) you will find well-known brands, while winding lanes such as Konviktstraße hold small treasures. A visit to the Minster market with fresh regional produce rounds off the shopping experience.
Experience the city in an unusual way: a tour in a historic VW Bulli turns every outing into a special experience. Whether with family or friends - a personal driver takes you to the most beautiful spots in Freiburg and shares exciting stories along the way. An unforgettable experience for birthdays, stag and hen parties or special surprises.
Freiburg is perfect for exploring by bike. Just a two-minute walk from Wohnen auf Zeit is a station of the frelo bike-hire scheme. Explore the old town, the surrounding vineyards or the Black Forest. Alone, as a couple or with the whole family - cycling brings exercise, fresh air and new perspectives on the city and its surroundings.
