Freiburg has a population of around 200,000, of which 25,000 are university and college students, and a history that goes back some 900 years. The old city centre still bears witness to this. The location at the foot of the Black Forest with France and Switzerland nearby makes Freiburg an ideal starting point for numerous memorable excursions.
A further point in its favour is the mild climate: Freiburg is the warmest and sunniest city in Germany.
As a university town, Freiburg has a very lively cultural scene. Lovers of theatre, ballet, modern dance, cinema, jazz, classical music, rock, pop, museums or galleries have a wide range of events, concerts, festivals and places to choose from.
