Freiburg For a Day

Ever happen to be in Switzerland, just a few miles outside of Germany? No?
Well, if you do ever end up in a wonderful city like Basel (which I will write about soon!), make sure you hop on a Deutsche Bahn train (below) headed for Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, only 45 minutes away from Basel. It is one of the most walk-able cities I have ever been to and it's a great day trip if you're bored of any of the northern Swiss towns near the border.

 The architecture of this city is so interesting and unique, you don't need to worry about planning out your trip. Just simply walking around the main streets will give you an idea of the feel of the Baden-Württemberg town.
 The beautiful Muenster has so much going on around it.

 Maybe when you'll get to experience an awesome organ performance like we did.

 One of the nice little surprises was the vineyards located on the main street, just straight out from the train station. If you walk along this street you'll see vineyards and then the beginnings of old town Freiburg am Breisgau. Make sure you find the water canals, too! These little runnels are called Baechle in German and are one of the city's most known features.
