Lindau

Lindau old town

Lindau old town is situated on an island in Lake Constance covering barely 70 hectares. With itsc enturies-old buildings, lively squares and picturesque alleyways, the Lake Constance atmosphere is almost palpable. The well-known harbour entrance with its Bavarian lion and white lighthouse is set against an impressive panorama looking over the Alps and Lake Constance. On the lakeside promenade which is the most attractive on Lake Constance, the numerous cafés are the ideal place to watch the maritime activity in the harbour.
