Recent Reviews in Old Town Freiburg im Breisgau

Hotel am Rathaus

10/10 Excellent

"The location cannot be faulted being right on the rathausplatz and an easy walk to everything. The room was spacious, clean and had a lovely view of the square. My only suggestion would be having a kettle in the room or perhaps a small fridge. There is certainly enough space in the room and this would have added a lot."

Premier Inn Freiburg City Süd

10/10 Excellent

"Nice little hotel. We have a car so we don’t need to use public transportation, but everything seems closely located. The hotel had parking. If you are lucky, there will be a free parking next to the hotel. If you plan to use the hotel’s parking, get a small car. It’s tight"

City Hotel Freiburg

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious (room 505). Breakfast was very good but you had to pick a time you were attending as the breakfast room was small. Shower was small. Building is old but maintained. Staff very helpful and provided information. No elevator down to the parking garage. Also lighting in garage needs to be updated so the lights roll on as a person walks through. It is dark unless you know where the switches are."

Aparthotel Adagio Access Freiburg

8/10 Good

"Room smelled like there had been a dog there. Laundry facilities were broken and they ordered the wrong machines so we had to walk to the laundromat. Shower door hung badly causing flooded bathroom floor every time we showered. Kind of far from downtown but had great transportation nearby and 2 grocery stores within walking distance."

Central Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you are driving, it is a very good idea to get clear instructions from the hotel before arriving, as Google Maps and Apple Maps were quite confusing and you can spend long time searching in the area. The hotel is right near the old town, but the street itself was a bit dirty, no fault of the hotel. The staff was very helpful, the room very comfortable and the breakfast absolutely outstanding! The best we have had in Germany. Very well served too, in beautiful and elegant china in an elegant dining room."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Old Town Freiburg Im Breisgau?

The best area to stay in Old Town Freiburg im Breisgau is within the historic centre itself, particularly around the Münsterplatz and the surrounding pedestrianised streets.

This neighbourhood is the heart of Freiburg, characterised by its historic buildings, cobbled streets, and the iconic Freiburger Münster (cathedral) dominating the main square. Many of the streets here are for pedestrians only, making it very pleasant for strolling. You'll find a wide selection of traditional German restaurants, cafes, and shops, many housed in charming old buildings.

Couples often find this area ideal for a romantic and convenient stay. With the Münsterplatz as a central point, you're just a short walk from the historic Kaufhaus, the daily market, and the Bächle – the small water-filled gutters running alongside the pavements. Evenings can be spent enjoying dinner at a local Gasthaus or taking a leisurely walk through the illuminated streets.

For those wanting to easily explore the city's main attractions on foot, staying close to the Rathausplatz (Town Hall Square) is an excellent choice. This square hosts markets and events and is a hub for public transport, offering easy connections to other parts of Freiburg and the Black Forest region.

When is the best time to go to Old Town Freiburg Im Breisgau?

The best time to visit Old Town Freiburg Im Breisgau is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months, when the weather is pleasant and the city is particularly inviting.

Spring brings mild temperatures and the city's gardens and parks, such as the Colombipark, are in full bloom. It's an excellent time for leisurely strolls through the historic streets, enjoying outdoor cafes around the Münsterplatz, and exploring the quaint Bächle (small water channels) that run alongside many of the pavements. This period is ideal for couples looking for a romantic getaway or solo travellers who appreciate gentle weather for sightseeing.

Autumn offers equally agreeable temperatures and fewer crowds than the peak summer months. The surrounding Black Forest region, easily accessible from the city centre, displays stunning foliage, making it great for scenic day trips. Within the Old Town, you can enjoy the local wines and seasonal produce at the farmers' market held daily on Münsterplatz.
