Advantages: Clean, Friendly, Pretty, Warm.... Disadvantages: Best to know some German
Freiburg, die schönste Stadt der Welt, or the most beautiful place in the world, as it has been described. Not only is it a very pretty place, but it is also the hottest place in Germany in the summer. I have visited Freiburg twice as part of an exchange with my school, once in year 10 and the second time, more recently in year 12. Both times I fully enjoyed my experience, and although only I was only there for 7 days both times, we managed to get quite a lot out of the region, one of the highlights being the trip to the Europaprk, a theme park not too far away from the city centre.
Europapark can be reached from the main train station in Freiburg through a bus service (that's how we got there anyway) and the journey does not last too long, probably around half an hour. The theme park is divided into 'countries', with each country in ...

I would liket to mention to Freiburg, one of very nice town of Germany, clean and things are well-kept. The main place for people who visit german town is the Rathaus(Town Hall)and another attractions of Freiburg is water way along the road which is not normally seen in germany nowadays. ...
