Freiburg Cathedral

The market was absolutely perfect! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, filled with lively stalls and an amazing variety of products. It was a pleasure just to walk around, surrounded by wonderful scents and the energy of a bustling market. What really stood out to me was the friendliness of the vendors – every interaction was warm and pleasant, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can spend hours exploring, tasting, and soaking up the local culture. Truly a must-visit!

It's free to visit no entry fee needed. Loved the tinted glasswork and the atmosphere. Very peaceful as other churches around. What catches the eye is the architecture. Worth a visit.

A large and very impressive place, with beautiful interior architecture. The main hall is stunning and worth the visit. However, the climb to the top is not particularly special. Once you reach the upper level, you can pay extra to go a bit higher, but it’s unnecessary and not worth the money. The stairs are narrow, making it extremely difficult to pass when people are coming in the opposite direction — the same problem on the way down. You can also see the bell up close, but be aware that the sound is deafening.

Freiburg Cathedral is absolutely beautiful, full of incredible details everywhere you look. The architecture is stunning. Every corner of the cathedral shows amazing craftsmanship. It’s truly a must-see! ✨

I love visiting Cathedrals! Each city has their own unique church and style and I just love the architectural designs on them! This one was one of my favorites! The interior was just breathtaking and you can tell how much effort went into the design because each statue is so intricate!

A stunning gothic cathedral with beautiful stained glass windows. Definitely worth a visit from outside and inside. Would suggest going at night to enjoy the views.

This is a stunning showcase of Gothic architecture, rich in detail and craftsmanship, leaves a lasting impression with its soaring spire and intricate stonework. The preservation efforts highlight a deep community connection, maintaining centuries of heritage with pride. The surrounding setting, steeped in history, adds to the sense of timelessness and reverence. It is a shame that we could not explore the interior as it was public holiday.

We recently visited Freiburg Cathedral, also known as Freiburger Münster, and honestly, it’s one of those places you’re glad you didn’t skip. From the moment we walked up to the huge square in front of it, we couldn’t stop staring at the massive Gothic tower—no wonder they say it’s one of the most beautiful church towers in Europe. We decided to climb all the way to the top—yes, 335 steps! It’s not for the faint-hearted, but the views over Freiburg and the Black Forest made every step worth it. Just a small tip: if you’re planning to go inside, check the service times beforehand because you’re not allowed to take pictures during sermons. We made sure to be respectful, took in the atmosphere quietly, and avoided snapping photos of people inside. The stained glass windows and carvings were incredible—really something special. We parked at Schlossberggarage, which is super close and easy to find, but there are also cheaper park-and-ride options with tram connections if you don’t mind a short ride into the city. We visited on a weekday morning, and it felt just right—not too busy. If you can, try to go when the outdoor market on Münsterplatz is open; the whole area comes alive with fresh produce and local crafts. Only downside? The climb isn’t suitable for everyone, and it gets busy later in the day. But honestly, Freiburg Cathedral is more than just a building—it’s an experience that sticks with you long after you leave. Would we recommend it? Absolutely.
