Indoor Fribourg

Within the city of Fribourg, the medieval old town is the biggest attraction. From the bell tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral you have a great panoramic view, if you are not afraid to climb the 365 steps. Everywhere in the city you will find museums and art galleries. Worth mentioning is for example the Espace Jean Tinguely Niki de Saint Phalle. In a tram depot, an artist couple exhibits their modern paintings and sculptures. The walkable ring wall is at least 2 km long in total. 14 towers are still preserved. Especially in the south and east of the city, the fortification is still very well preserved. The green Funi, a funicular railroad, is the last still functioning water ballast railroad in Switzerland. You can reach it in a few steps from the train station. The funicular, which runs year-round, takes you down to the districts along the Saane River. It is operated with the waste water of the upper town.
