Planning Your Time

Choosing a place to stay in these parts is a question of finance and interest. The closer you stay to the water, the more expensive and lively it becomes. Many visitors to Lake Constance pass by on their way from one country to another, so during the middle of the day the best-known places like Konstanz, Mainau, Meersburg, and Lindau tend to be crowded. Try to visit these places either in the morning or in the late afternoon, and make your day trips to the lesser-known destinations, the Baroque churches in upper Swabia, the Swiss cities along the southern shore, or the nearby mountains in Switzerland and Austria.
