Lake Constance / Bodensee
 

Hi.
We would be so thankful for tips/advices where to stay (places/towns) around Lake Constance this summer.

We’ve been thinking 5-6 days.

Thank you 🥳☺️

We really enjoyed our stay at Meersburg.

All depends on your interests:
swimming, hiking, biking, boat cruises, visit of the more than a dozen medieval monasteries and castles, rides by gondola, cog wheel or rope railways to viewpoints, excursions into the Swiss, Austrian and Bavarian Alps (up to Neuschwanstein castle), all kinds of museums (Lake dweller villages included).........
The area between Bregenz and Friedrichshafen is more touristy than the Swiss shore. The university city of Konstanz is the most central hub for the whole area.

Hi lenaholtan,

Yes, Meersburg, as mentioned above, is a lovely little town. It is divided into two parts -- down by the lake, there is a strip of hotels, restaurants, cafés, and some shops, while above there is a warren of tiny, twisting streets to get lost in. The upper town has a castle and a huge winery that dominates the town, and many, many small shops.

Another option is Lindau, which exists on an island and is perhaps the most scenic. I've stayed there twice, and really there are breath-taking views everywhere, from inside the cobble-streets of town to the edges overlooking the beautiful lake and Switzerland on the opposite shore.

But my favorite stay was in Überlingen, a small town further down the lake. It seemed to be just an average town, filled with residents and families, and nice little everyday shops. Here I saw families with strollers eating ice cream next to tnphe lake, and I liked the laid-back atmosphere. I can't wait to go back and explore it more.

Have fun as you plan!
