Friburgo
Fribourg (town) – located 90 minutes (153 km) southwest of Zürich, Fribough is a French-influenced Swiss town that’s immersed in medieval structures (such as the Cathedral of Freiburg, a 13th century house of worship that’s known for its extraordinarily beautiful stained-glass windows).
For art-lovers, a favored destination in Fribourg is the “Espace Jean Tinguely et Niki de Saint Phalle”, located in a former tram depot and named after those two artists (one a Fribourg native, the other French). More works by the two artists can be found on the Sculpture Trail through the town center. Modern art is on display in the Fri-Art Gallery. Children will love the Puppet Museum or the highly educational Natural History Museum.
