Destination guide

Lindau brings together an island old town and harbour. The lighthouse and Bavarian Lion mark the harbour entrance, while lanes and squares invite unhurried exploration. Leave time for a pause by the water.

What to explore

Three good reasons to visit.

01

Hafeneinfahrt

The harbour entrance is one of Lindau’s distinctive views. From the shore, the island town, boats and open lake come together.

02

Leuchtturm & Bayerischer Löwe

The lighthouse and Bavarian Lion mark the harbour entrance. Take time for different angles rather than just one quick photo from the first viewpoint.

03

Inselaltstadt

Behind the harbour, lanes and squares lead into the island town. Leave room for spontaneous turns and pauses to enjoy the old town.

Leave room to wander. Bring an idea.

A day that could be yours

The harbour is a lovely beginning, but it need not be the whole day. Follow one old-town lane into the next and return to the water later. An unplanned pause can turn the island stroll into a real escape.

A little escape

Make Hafeneinfahrt 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 Leuchtturm & Bayerischer Löwe to a visit to Hafeneinfahrt. 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.
