Freiburg has been University town since 1457 and 10% of the population of 200 000 are students.

The cultural life is broad and of very high standard, the old town full of historic little streets, pubs and restaurants for every budget. The cathedral dominates the sky line and the daily market in the cathedral square sells fresh local produce and handicrafts.

The Freiburg area offers unlimited possibilities for half day or day trips:  Walking, skiing and exploring picturesque villages in the Black Forest, wine tasting in the Kaiserstuhl, visits to Basel, Colmar or Straßburg are just a few exemples.
