Freiburg, Germany

This is a beautiful town situated at the southern of the Black Forest region (Southwestern Germany), only 3 km from France and 42 km from Switzerland. Freiburg is a great city to be included in the perfect European trip. Its scenic beauty, warm and sunny climate and its easy access to the Black Forest, makes this city a very attractive place to visit. 

Founded in the 12th century, a visit to Freiburg is like stepping into a fairy tale setting. It is filled with picturesque ancient structures, Gothic style churches, and impressive giant clocks which chime every hour. The cobblestone streets are lined with man-made streams which attract the attention of children, birds, and visitors. Bicycles and free-use electric trolley cars dominate the avenues, with little automobile traffic. Natural parks help make the air smell fresh and clean. It is obvious that the local German population take great pride in their jewel of a city called Freiburg. 

 I enjoyed visiting this city so much! Its people are very friendly, the food very tasty, the weather just perfect, and the beauty breath taking. Shopping is wonderful because the prices are very fair compared with the prices in France or Switzerland. 

This is one of the cities I would love to visit again; I have very good memories of this bella ciudad beautiful city. I also would like to go to the Black Forest next time because we missed it when we were there. Shame of me because I didn't educate myself about this town before I visited. I always research about the country and city that I'm going to visit, but this time I just didn't. I guess it was because we were visiting so many countries and cities in Europe that I just missed Freiburg.
