Rue des Alpes: The Fribourg Street With the View
Even if Fribourg can seem old-fashioned, this city in central Switzerland does have a somewhat modern and cosmopolitan feel. Thanks to Fribourg’s universities, many students from different countries live here. During our stopover we met English, French, German and Italian speakers (from Ticino).
Another favorite moment was when I walked along Rue des Alpes. This street goes parallell with Rue de Romont and Rue de Lausanne. The view of the city, the hills and the countryside in the distance almost made me wish I could stay longer.
Before exploring the city, get a free map from the tourist office next to the train station which is located above the Old Town.
I remember the time that I spent in Switzerland. I was fot 3 months in Fribourg and for 1 year in Ticino. a lot of people who speaks french, german and italian, 3 great culture…
I would’n probably live there, it’is a bit too foogy for me but I would definitely go for a vacation. Must be relaxing, breath taking views. The perfect place if you are looking for serenity and peace of mind
I haven’t been here in many years but when we visited we walked this street, around sunset, and the view was sublime.
