Traveller tips

Don't miss a visit to the Lindau Lighthouse for panoramic views of the lake and mountains. Try the local specialty, Bodensee fish, at one of the many waterfront restaurants. Take a boat tour on Lake Constance to explore the surrounding area and visit nearby attractions. Pack comfortable walking shoes as the old town's cobblestone streets can be uneven.
