Welcome to Freiburg im Breisgau — one of Germany’s most enchanting Christmas markets and a true hidden gem of the Black Forest. We visited the Freiburg Christmas Market with absolutely zero expectations. In this Germany travel vlog, we take you inside one of the most authentic and cozy German Weihnachtsmärkte, a place that quickly became one of our favorite winter destinations in Europe.
Whether you’re planning a trip to Germany, dreaming of visiting a traditional German Christmas market, or simply looking for winter travel inspiration, we hope this video lets you experience the magic of Freiburg at Christmas.
Located on the edge of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald), the Freiburg Weihnachtsmarkt offers a warm, fairytale atmosphere that feels worlds away from the overcrowded tourist markets. Twinkling lights, festive stalls, the scent of roasted nuts and mulled wine, and a relaxed local vibe make this Christmas market feel truly special. We explore multiple market areas, taste traditional Christmas market food, and show you why Freiburg deserves a spot on every Germany winter travel itinerary.
Freiburg is also the perfect base for Christmas market hopping in the Black Forest, Alsace and Switzerland. From here you can easily visit the famous Colmar Christmas Market and Strasbourg Christmas Market in France (both about an hour away), take a free train ride to Basel, Switzerland with your Deutschland Ticket, and even ride the direct shuttle to the magical Ravenna Gorge Christmas Market. Stay in Freiburg, explore more, skip the stress, and save money – hotels here are easier to find and far more affordable than in nearby hotspots like Colmar, Strasbourg, or Basel.
As retired Americans living in Germany, we’ve visited many famous Christmas markets across Europe, but Freiburg surprised us in the best possible way. We honestly didn’t know what to expect — and that’s what made discovering this market so magical. Every moment felt cozy, festive, and unforgettable.
If you want to see how Freiburg compares to the famous Colmar Christmas Market just across the border—and why it’s a totally different experience—watch our Colmar video next. And for even more Germany Christmas markets, don’t miss our guides to Cologne, Strasbourg, and other European Christmas favorites in our Christmas playlist.
