Auberge de jeunesse Fribourg
Fribourg youth hostel is situated in a noble and historic but newly-renovated wing of the former Community Hospital, dating back to the 17th century, which now resembles a hive of international activity rather than a clinical, sterile hospital. Small wonder,
the youth hostel is the only one in the canton and is a venue for travellers from all over the
world ...
