Discover Fribourg by Hire Car

The city of Fribourg, or Fribourg im Üechtland in Switzerland, is certainly one of the most impressive cities in all of Europe in terms of history and culture.

Adding to this is its sensational location on an exposed rocky outcrop above the Saane River, which flows around Fribourg on three sides.

Even in the Middle Ages, Fribourg, which is also the capital of the canton of the same name, was considered a centre for art, culture and education.

Today, the historic old town is one of the largest enclosed medieval centres anywhere in Europe.

Sights in Fribourg

Numerous monasteries, churches and other buildings still bear impressive witness to this period. Among the most important of these is the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, which was built in several stages from 1283 until 1490.

However, the two-kilometre-long ring wall that surrounds the historic city centre of Fribourg or the 14 fantastically preserved towers of the former bulwark are also more than worth seeing.

Leisure activities in Fribourg

Not only culture vultures can also visit various museums, with the Museum of Art and History being one of the most important collections of prehistoric and early historical artefacts in the world.

Unique in Europe is also the consequence of bilingualism in Fribourg.

At all the city’s schools and colleges, it is possible to graduate in both German and French.

Modernist art is also represented here, and you can admire Niki de Sant-Phalle’s whimsical, colorful sculptures of well-proportioned femininity in the former tram depot.

To explore Fribourg and its fantastic surroundings, a hire car is highly recommended.
