St. Nicholas Cathedral (Fribourg)

Highlight • Religious Site

The huge cathedral with its detailed bell tower is probably the most striking building in the city. The Gothic Cathedral of St. Nicholas was built in several stages between 1283 and 1490. The top of the bell tower can be climbed via a spiral staircase. The view from up there is breathtaking. In 1924 the original minster became the cathedral of the diocese of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg.

Charming street in Salavaux

Segment accessible to all where traffic is not very dense.

Do not hesitate to take a break in one of the bakeries - the one in Salavaux is famous - in the area to taste the famous Vully cake or in a cellar for a tasting of another nectar🍷. 😉
