Hotels near EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg - QFB, Freiburg im Breisgau

Freiburg is the largest city in the south western area of the black forest. It is fairly small however and the old town center which is in my opinion the only place that should be visited and stayed at is even smaller - you can probably see everything there is to be seen by foot with small kids in 1 day. However, the atmosphere in the old town center is great and it is a beautiful center and is well worth visiting. I would recommend at least 2 nights to fully appreciate and enjoy it casually. However, if you are looking to explore the black forest for a week I would advice to sleep somewhere else(maybe in a farm or some place in the smaller villages around) and only coming to Freiburg as a day trip. Keep in mind that other than the beautiful old city center most of the city is unpleasant to be in with children and there are quite a lot of immigrants at the outskirts of the city. If you are no bothered by it than you should ignore this last paragraph. Enjoy

Loved this city, as I was working from my computer, I needed strong wifi so I chose Freiburg im Breisgau as the base to driving out to different hikes. I would have stayed in a smaller town in the Black Forest though if I had the chance, one that was closer to hikes or was a spa town like baden-baden.

Freiburg is a very nice city with a beautiful cathedral in the main square. There are a lot of pubs, restaurants and typical German breweries where everyone can find the original taste of southern Germany. Very good nightlife. The city is located at the border of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) which is really worth to visit.

Beautiful town with many restaurants and shops. Old city is perfect and you must walk to the hill to enjoy the city view. From Freiburg you can make day trip to Strasbourg, Colmar, Basel, Baden Baden.

Freiburg has so much history and a beautiful shopping district with a lot of restaurants very close to transportation. The food is amazing and it is so easy to get around in Freiburg. The people are so kind and very helpful. It is very important that you remember that all shops are closed on Sundays, with the exception of most restaurants. Be sure to have Euros on hand for this day, as a lot of places do not use credit cards. Check out City Park and get awesome views of the city from the tower, easily located by taking Landwasser to the fourth stop at Am Bischofskreuz. It's behind the Studentensiedlung am Seepark or the "Stussie," which is student housing for Freiburg. You have to try the tea and delights at the Turkish bakery, Sevgin. It is just a short walk from the main train station. You will not be disappointed.

Great University town. Seemed safe even at night. Ate in a variety of places including the market at Munster plaza. Great experience. Getting around is easy and quick because of the good tram service. Not very crowded. Weather was a little unpredictable.
