Local knowledge for Freiburg
Where to stay
Most hostels cluster around the Hauptbahnhof and the Stühlinger district just west of it, a student-heavy area with cheap kebab spots and easy tram access to everything. The Altstadt is walkable from there in ten minutes, and staying near Kaiser-Joseph-Straße puts you central without paying Münsterplatz prices.
Getting around
- The Münstermarkt runs Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday mornings around the cathedral. Load up on local cheese, bread, and produce for a handful of coins and skip the overpriced cafes.
- Tram lines 1, 2, 3, and 5 all converge at the Hauptbahnhof and cover the whole city. A 24-hour pass costs a few euros and is cheaper than two single rides if you move around at all.
- Take tram 2 to Günterstal, then bus 21, to reach the Schauinsland cable car without renting a car. Buy the combined transit-and-lift ticket in town, not at the mountain, where it costs more.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest in late October through early November and again in January and February. July and August fill up fast with Schwarzwald hikers, and the Christmas market in late November pulls enough visitors to push prices up for two to three weeks.
