Cobbled street in Freiburg's old town

Shopping

Freiburg’s city centre offers a wonderfully varied shopping experience: major brands, small boutiques and regional markets in an atmospheric old-town setting. The Kaiser-Joseph-Straße (“Kajo”) brings together well-known labels and department stores, while charming lanes such as Konviktstraße shine with individual shops and special flair. Shopping centres like Schwarzwald City round off the choice. A real highlight is the daily Münstermarkt – fresh produce, regional specialities and the lively bustle on Münsterplatz.

The Stadtgarten – a green oasis right next to the apartments

The Stadtgarten

Right next to the apartments lies the Stadtgarten – a green oasis in the heart of Freiburg. With over 250 varieties of rose, ancient trees, ponds and lovingly tended flower beds, it invites you to relaxed strolls. A particular highlight is the Schlossbergbahn funicular, which takes you directly from the park up the 460-metre Schlossberg – with a glorious view over the city. In summer, concerts and open-air events at the music pavilion create a lively atmosphere.

The Schlossberg – Freiburg's green hilltop

The Schlossberg

Just a stone’s throw from the apartments, the Schlossberg rises above the Stadtgarten. A popular destination for outings, it offers impressive views over Freiburg, the Black Forest and the Rhine plain. Historic fortification remains, the Kanonenplatz and the 33-metre Schlossbergturm make it a genuine experience. Well-maintained paths invite you to explore on foot – or take the Schlossbergbahn comfortably to the top. Nature, history and panorama in one: the Schlossberg is among the very best Freiburg has to offer.
