The “the Bavarian Riviera” is definitely worth a visit to enjoy its Alpine views, lakefront cafes and its old town stranded on a small island. Lindau, on the eastern side of Lake Constance, is full of medieval and half-timbered buildings that bear witness to a turbulent history, unspoiled nature and relaxed, laid-back beach atmosphere.
See the Mangturm, one of the most famous still standing watchtowers of the old medieval fortification belt. Admire the entrance to the port, with its new Lighthouse and the sitting Lion, guarding the entrance.Listen to the fascinating story of the Thieves Tower. Discover the “Fools Fountain”, with its interesting figures, each wearing masks worn by Lindau's guild of carnival fools. Admire the breathtaking murals of the beautiful gothic Old Town Hall. See the Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady and its white stucco, beautiful frescoes and Rococo carvings. Visit the jewel of Lake Constance, in a tour that allows you to discover all the main highlights.

Ula was lovely. She knew her information very well and was knowledgeable about the town, its origins, and the historical architecture. It gave us a good orientation of the town and areas of the island we may not have seen, even including the great Main Street with all its boutiques and cafes. At times she struggled a bit with English, but for the most part we understood everything. The tour can run long, so be careful with timing your next event!

Kirsten was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable guide for our very complete walking tour through the historic and charming island of Lindau. So much rich history and information was provided during this easy, nearly 2 hour stroll. Had such a great understanding of the creation and early times of the area thanks to Kirsten. Highly recommended!
