Freiburg
Getting Here and Around
Freiburg is on the main railway line between Frankfurt and Basel, and regular ICE express trains stop here. The railway station is a short walk from the city center. Although Freiburg is a bustling metropolis, the city center is compact. In fact, the bulk of the Old Town is closed to traffic, so walking is by far the most practical and pleasurable option. The Old Town is ringed with parking garages for those who arrive by car.
