Recent Reviews in Old Town Freiburg im Breisgau

Hotel am Rathaus

8/10 Good

"Excellent room which seemed to have been refurbished recently. Bathroom really modern with an excellent, powerful shower. Two small bottles of water provided but no tea/coffee. Staff welcoming and efficient. Good location for all attractions and proximity to trams. We also enjoyed the cocktails in the not so ‘secret’ bar!"

Hotel Stadt Freiburg

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel. The staff were wonderful and accommodating. The area is a short tram ride from the station and the centre of the city. I was pleasantly surprised by my room which was spacious and comfortable. Obligatory kettle which is required in any good hotel room but a rarity abroad sometimes. Well worth a stay"

Courtyard by Marriott Freiburg

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is exceptional in all aspects. My daughter and I stayed here for 7 nights and from the moment we stepped through the door we were wowed by the immaculate entrance way and the lovely fresh aroma. We instantly felt at home and knowing that only guests with key cards can access floors above reception made us feel very safe in a strange city. Our room was huge, with a lovely large window overlooking the street at the front of the hotel. Everything was spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfortable. The air con was very effective which was much needed in the height of summer. The location of the hotel, being so close to the train station, was perfect for us as we were travelling by train most days to do sightseeing beyond Freiburg. It was also only a short walk into the centre of Freiburg to get to a huge variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and the spectacular cathedral. If we ever return to Freiburg we will definitely stay here and we’ll recommend the hotel to anyone visiting the area."

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.
