Description

Uncover the medieval soul of Fribourg on a full-day escape from Interlaken. Set above the Sarine River and framed by sweeping Swiss landscapes, this historic gem invites you into a world of cobbled lanes, Gothic architecture, and rich heritage. From panoramic viewpoints to hidden alleyways, Fribourg offers an immersive journey where history, culture, and discovery come together.

Your private hotel pick-up is followed by a comfortable drive through the Swiss countryside, from the Alps into western Switzerland. Upon arrival at the upper station of the Fribourg funicular, meet your local guide and descend together into the Old Town.

Begin your walking tour through narrow streets, historic bridges, and ornate fountains while uncovering stories of medieval trade, religious traditions, and local heritage. Admire the striking Gothic architecture of St. Nicholas Cathedral, step inside to view its vaulted ceilings and stained glass, and continue to Chapelle de Lorette for sweeping panoramic views over the city.

Continue to Espace 1606, where a detailed scale model and immersive film bring Fribourg’s history vividly to life.

After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. From cultural landmarks and scenic viewpoints to relaxed cafés and quiet corners, Fribourg invites you to experience it according to your own rhythm.

At the end of the day, return to Interlaken with your private driver, carrying lasting memories of Fribourg’s history, culture, and scenic beauty.
