Germany's sunniest, most laid-back university town, with a car-free medieval centre where spring-fed Baechle trickle along every street and the Black Forest rises green right at the edge of town. Earnest, eco-minded and unhurried, with a distinct southern warmth in both climate and attitude.

When to gospring or autumn for pleasant weather without summer's heat (Freiburg holds the record as Germany's warmest city) or winter's cold and crowds around the Christmas market
Getting aroundthe pedestrianised Altstadt covers everything within a 15-20 minute walk; trams handle the rest, and with 400km-plus of bike paths and cheap daily rentals, Freiburg is one of Germany's best cities to explore by bicycle
Where to stayAltstadt for the cathedral, market square and every major sight on foot; Vauban for a look at Freiburg's well-known eco-district, a short tram ride from the centre; Wiehre for a quieter, older residential base just across the river
Maybe skip ifnightlife or big-city buzz — this is a small, quiet town at heart
