Freiburg is better known for the Gothic Munster — the huge cathedral that towers over the city since the 1200s. Construction took over three centuries and it was, miraculously, spared from WWII bombings. The massive walls, the gates, the pillars and the gargoyles are coded with medieval religious symbols that your guide will help you understand, so you can make the most of this experience. The cathedral is contained in the charming Munsterplatz, a quaint square lined with traditional houses. You might be lucky and catch the bustling farmers market happening here almost every day, it’s a pleasure to the senses! Without leaving the square you will also find one of the most noteworthy landmarks in Freiburg, the strikingly red Historical Merchants' Hall.
