Old Town, Cathedral City, and Cultural Heritage
Freising is considered the oldest city between Bolzano and Regensburg and recounts centuries of city and art history in a compact area. Magnificent Bürger and cathedral houses, winding alleys, and the historic city center make the tour a cultural enrichment for all who want to not only hear local history but experience it in the cityscape.

From Garden Path to Brewery Arch
The path to Weihenstephan opens up a view of one of the strongest experience axes in Freising: green areas, monastic memories, scientifically influenced garden spaces, and the brewing culture for which the place is known far beyond the region. This mixture of nature, tradition, and city guidance makes the tour so appealing.
