City Map

City Introduction

Lindau is a Bavarian city that is fantastically beautiful located as an island in Lake Constance. The old part of the city is located on the island, while newer parts of the city are located on the mainland a few kilometers from the border with Austria. Lindau is an old town, on which a monastery was described in the 9th century. Later, the city became a free imperial city in the Holy Roman Empire, which it was until 1802. Later in the 19th century, the city’s harbor and railway embankment were built.

Lindau is a popular excursion destination in southern Germany due to the city’s special location and unparalleled view of Lake Constance. The lake is central to many of the city’s activities, and if you sail to or from Lindau, you are greeted by the city’s famous harbor entrance, where the Lion of Bavaria stands on one pier with Bavaria’s only lighthouse on the other. The lighthouse dates from 1856, and so does the six-metre high lion.

When on a walk in Lindau’s old town, it is natural to enjoy a stroll along Maximilianstraße, which forms Lindau’s main street. Along the street you can see a long line of e.g. craftsman’s houses from the 16th and 17th centuries. In addition, the squares Marktplatz and Bismarckplatz and their side streets are very pleasant to explore. Along the way you can also see the beautiful city halls Altes Rathaus from the 15th century and Neues Rathaus from the 18th century.

There are also fine churches in Lindau. Münster Unserer Lieben Frau and Kirche St. Stephan are both worth a visit, and also take a walk along the harbor at Hafenplatz. Here you can see one of the city’s landmarks, the Mangturm lighthouse, which was in use in the years 1180-1856. The Mangturm stood as part of Lindau’s city walls and fortifications, as did the Diebturm from 1380. On a tour you can also see the Lindavia Fountain from 1884.

Konstanz, Germany

Konstanz

Konstanz is beautifully located on the western shore of Lake Constance in the state of Baden-Württemberg. It is a city located on the banks of the Rhine and on the German-Swiss border opposite the city of Kreuzlingen. Konstanz is an old city, which was settled by Romans from about AD 40, and the Roman name later became Constantia. For a long time, the town was the only place in the area with a bridge over the Rhine, and that was one of the reasons for the town’s growth and importance.

Today, Konstanz is characterized by the waters of the Rhine and Lake Constance, and the city has an old city center, the Altstadt, which is very cozy. The Altstadt lies south of the Rhine, and here you just have to walk and explore the narrow streets and the city squares to indulge the atmosphere. The area between Münsterplatz and Augustinerplatz is the business district of Konstanz, and the lovely promenades along Lake Constance are to the east from here.
