Freiburg Hotels, Youth Hostels, CampingFrom: Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
ABOVE: A Sunday-morning view from a room at the Hotel Oberkirch that faces the Münsterplatz. HotelsLike most German cities, Freiburg has accommodations that range from cozy traditional inns to steel-and-glass business hotels. As a tourist, you'll probably want to stay within the Altstadt, so look at a map before booking a room.
At the upper end of the price scale, the family-owned Colombi Hotel is a Leading Hotels of the World member with 116 rooms, a pool and spa, and a location on the Rotteckring across from the Colombipark. It's within a few blocks of both the railroad station and the Münsterplatz. For more hotel listings, check Venere's Freiburg hotel listings (keeping location in mind) or the Freiburg im Breisgau tourism pages. You can also e-mail [email protected] or call +49 (0) 761 885 81145 for advice on hotels, vacation apartments, or rooms in private homes. (If you're in Freiburg, consult the listings in the Freiburg Official Guide.) Youth hostels and campingThe Black Forest Hostel--featured in Lonely Planet, but with wrong directions--is slightly north of the Altstadt, between the Schlossberg and the Dreisam River. (See map.) Rates are cheap in dormitory beds and reasonable in single or double rooms. The Jugendherberge Freiburg is 3 km from town and 4.5 km (about 3 miles) from the railroad station. You'll need a membership card from a recognized hostel association to stay at this DJH property, which has 418 beds in 102 dorms and rooms. Freiburg also has several campgrounds in the vicinity; the most convenient are Hilzberg Camping and Campingplatz Kirchzarten, with Campingplatz am Möslepark and Tunisee being a bit farther afield.
