About this activity

Step into Freiburg's Old Town on a self-guided audio walk that brings six centuries of history to life at your own pace. Starting from Rathausplatz, you'll wind past the Freiburg Cathedral, whose Gothic spire miraculously survived World War II bombing, before wandering Konviktstraße, where wisteria-draped facades still carry medieval charm. Along the way, discover Gasthaus Zum Roten Bären, believed to be Germany's oldest restaurant, and pass beneath the twin stone gates of Martinstor and Schwabentor. The route then takes you to, narrow canals known as the Bächle have earned Freiburg the nickname "Little Venice."
