2 3 Freiburg – wellness and healthiness. The HealthRegion Freiburg represents a unique combination of excellent top-class medicine, a culture of health which is lived out every day, and the highest quality of life.
No other city in Germany is as blessed by the sun as Freiburg. The metropolis of the Breisgau region enjoys more than 1600 hours of sun per year, creating a special climate

The university library, which is called "cut diamond" by its constructor, stands with its divisive architecture in contrast to the historic buildings in the vicinity.
Its product range shines in all colours and those who already had a stroll across it, know: Offering great choice of colourful fruit and vegetables, arranged around the historic “Münster” (cathedral), Freiburg's “Münstermarkt” (cathedral market) is also a visual delight. And the best part of it – the goods that are for sale on the north side are all locally produced.
4 5 Did you know: Freiburg is the city with the most vineyards in Germany. No wonder Freiburg also enjoys great popularity with gourmets. In addition to the fine wines which are grown in the city and region, there is also a particularly high density of sophisticated restaurants and catering businesses. Probably difficult to find a similarly diverse and first-class offer as in this region in the border triangle.
] ] [Shopping & celebrating [A paradise for gourmets
Whether you go for a stroll through picturesque alleys, follow the famous “Bächle“ (small canals), shop in boutiques and small shops or would like to enjoy the culinary diversity – Freiburg's historic Old Town has something to offer for everyone.
Over the roofs of the city or deep in the vaulted cellar, whether bar, club, lounge or ballroom: Those who want to celebrate in Freiburg will find the right location for every occasion. Freiburg's locals know how to celebrate. This is proven by the numerous offers of “Hocks” (traditional celebration), festivals and parties that invite to join in throughout the year in Germany's southernmost university town.
