Destination guide

Arbon combines an historic old town, industrial heritage and a lakeside promenade. The Saurer Museum explores vehicle manufacturing and technology. Shape your visit around your interests: lanes and waterfront or a museum as the main stop.

What to explore

Three good reasons to visit.

01

Old town

The old town introduces Arbon’s historic side. Give its streets and buildings time before shifting your focus back to the water.

02

Saurer Museum

The Saurer Museum explores vehicle manufacturing and technological history. It offers a different focus from the old town and lake and deserves a planned visit.

03

Seepromenade

The promenade opens Arbon to views across the water. After town history or a museum, it is a good place to slow the day down again.

Leave room to wander. Bring an idea.

A day that could be yours

Choose between industrial history and an old-town stroll. After the Saurer Museum, the promenade gives space to reflect. If you prefer staying outdoors, let the lanes and water shape the day.

A little escape

Make Old town your main stop. Leave room for a pause afterwards and only then decide whether to explore further.

With more time to spare

If you wish, add Saurer Museum to a visit to Old town. Check the connection between them and plan a longer break. These are flexible ideas, not a fixed circular route.

Plan your visit

Opening hours, admission, tours and timetables can change with the season. Check current details with the provider before visiting. If you need step-free access, suitable parking or other assistance, ask the destination directly.

Getting here

Choose your precise starting point and destination. Compare current train and bus connections with a road journey. Plan the final stage and your return too; boat services depend on the season.

A moment for the lake.

Not every holiday moment needs an attraction. Take time between visits simply to watch the water.
