Introducing Konstanz

From sightseeing to sunbathing, Konstanz offers a laid-back spot for a luxury lakeside retreat. One day could find you strolling through the medieval Old Town, or watching the world go by from a harbour-front bar. The next, take to the sparkling waters of the Bodensee, with snow-capped peaks as a handsome backdrop. In between, your small, boutique hotel is the perfect place from which to plan the next day’s adventure.

Things to do

HISTORY
Discover Konstanz’s medieval heritage with a stroll through the Old Town, or Altstadt. Lose yourself in the Niederburg district, where lanes of 14th-century houses open out to bustling market squares. It’s here that you’ll find the cathedral where the Council of Konstanz, a defining moment in the history of the Catholic Church, was held. Discover centuries-old artwork as you walk in the footsteps of kings and bishops, who met here in 1414 to choose the next Pope.

CULTURE
As a buzzing university town, Konstanz has plenty of quirky venues and trendy bars to explore. Take in the work of local artists at the Cultural Centre. Then, after dinner by the harbour, seek out classical concerts from the Philharmonic Orchestra, or avant-garde performance at Theatre Konstanz.

WATER
With the Bodensee on the doorstep, Konstanz is a hotspot for water sports. Enjoy a day out on the lake aboard a private yacht, or dive in and try waterskiing and windsurfing. If a little relaxation is in order, take to the thermal waters of Konstanz’s lakeside spa. On summer nights, the sky lights up with thousands of fireworks for Seenachtfest.

Top Tip from SLH

The Bodensee is home to a tiny tropical paradise – Mainau, the ‘flower island’. Sail over from Konstanz to explore beautiful gardens and greenhouses teeming with bright butterflies.
