Destination guide

Konstanz brings together an historic old town, harbour and Seerhein. Explore the lanes around the cathedral and Niederburg, then discover the Imperia statue and council building by the harbour.

What to explore

Three good reasons to visit.

01

Münster

The cathedral is a distinctive historic landmark in the old town. Combine a look at the building with an unhurried stroll through the surrounding lanes.

02

Niederburg

Niederburg is part of historic Konstanz. Its narrow lanes and old houses provide a contrast to the open views at the harbour.

03

Imperia & Konzil

The Imperia harbour statue and council building bring together lake views and local history. Make this area a stop of its own before exploring the old town.

Leave room to wander. Bring an idea.

A day that could be yours

Start with a view across the water from the harbour. Then leave time to wander through Niederburg. Choose one cultural stop that interests you instead of trying to tick off the whole town.

A little escape

Make Münster 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 Niederburg to a visit to Münster. 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.
