Fribourg

Overview

Introduction

Fribourg is a beautiful little hillside city 20 mi/30 km southwest of Bern, in one of the many Swiss regions where languages and cultures merge (in this case, French and German). Red-tiled buildings in the old section wind their way up from the Saane River to the Gothic Cathedral of St. Nicholas. It also has a pretty town hall and Museum of Art and History. Fribourg makes a nice stop if you are traveling by car between Bern and Lausanne or Geneva.
