Pl. Georges-Python, Fribourg, Bezoekersgids & wat te doen in de buurt

Place Georges-Python is a public square in Fribourg, Switzerland, a bilingual city built above the Sarine river and known for its medieval old town. It is easy to reach on foot and makes a handy stop while you explore Fribourg.

Tips for your visit

• Plan a short stop here rather than a long one, and combine it with a walk through the streets around it.
• Daylight is best for looking around and taking photos, and the square is easier to enjoy when it is not rush hour.
• Wear comfortable shoes, because Fribourg has steep streets and stairs between its higher and lower districts.
• It is an open public place, but check locally for events or roadworks that might change how much of it you can use.

See it on a quest

The best way to take in this corner of the city is to walk it as part of a longer route. Fribourg: Hunting the flying dragon is a self-guided quest played on your phone. You reach the places on foot, the app tells you about each one as you arrive, and you solve a puzzle based on what is in front of you. There is no guide and no group to join, you start whenever you like, and one ticket covers your whole group.
