There were a lot of shops, but most of them are available in England. In the summer it is very hot, so don't let the shady areas and the fact that you will be going in and out of buildings fool you.

This is a lovely platz with a huge cathedral in the center. It's not too big and felt very comfortable with kids. There are restaurants and hotels surrounding the platz, all very scenic and cute.

The Cathedral is surrounded on three sides by daily market stalls - some selling fruit and vegetables, some selling gifts etc. A busy area, which also contains several good cafes/restaurants.

Has a great market and all the buildings surrounding are really beautiful especially the cathedral! Most are from the 1200-1500s!

Strolling on the Freiburger Münsterplatz on a saturday morning, with the vibrant activity of the market, and the ancient beauty of the Münster is simply one of my favorite moments. The sculptures and the colored glass windows on the Münster are fantastic - check out the "Nasentrompeter" (Nose-trumpet blower), and take your binoculars with you!

The cathedral is huge. The is a market all around it in the mornings. The goods are mainly grocery items. There is also a fair bit of handmade souvenirs. Itbhad a real old world feel.
