My favorite restaurants and cafes
Auberge Aux 4 Vents is a cafe & restaurant and a great place with a view of poya bridge and cathedral. The address is Route de Grandfey 124, 1763 Granges-Paccot.
It has a great view at the garden. Especially in a sunny day, chilling out at the garden, ordering a movenpick ice-cream would be nice.

The cathedral is symbol of Fribourg. A jewel of Gothic architecture, it was built between 1283 and 1490. It is very rich decorated cathedral with stained glasses created by the Polish painter Jozef Mehoffer.
If you want to have a top view of Fribourg 360°, you can climb to top of the cathedral ( 365 steps, and 5 chf as I remember)

A route to bike or have a walk. Silent and full of nature. When you continue straigt, you will see the Grandfey brige/viaduc.
The pont de Grandfey is a sight that is hard to forget. Generations of walkers who cross this deep chasm via the footbridge below have marvelled at the sheer height of this viaduct, and been moved by the vibrations of the trains as they trundle overhead.

The entrance to the Grandfey footbridge features one of the most important examples of minimalist art in Switzerland – a sculpture by Richard Serra, from 1988.
PS. when you pass the brigde turn left and you will see an old gong. You can hit the gong strongly and you will feel the vibration in all your body.

Everyone in Fribourg knows the funicular as one of the town's curiosities. The line was opened in 1899 and links the town centre to the Basse-Ville (the lower area of the town).
The Fribourg funicular is a listed historical monument and unique in Europe... it is actually one of the last one to run on waste water from the town, which is used thanks to system of counterweights.
The creaking and clattering of the rack of the hundred-year old machine is obviously worth seeing, especially as it will take you deep into the soul of the town. The funicular was - and still is - the link between the "Basse-Ville" and the centre of Fribourg. History and modernity... a true symbol!
The funicular connects the old town (Neuveville and Auge districts) to the center
Ride: 2 minutes
