Lindau isn't just a good departure point; it has plenty to offer in its own right.

Much of Old Lindau is located on the island. Many visitors recommend its promenade, which is said to be among the best of any of the resort towns on Lake Constance. From there, you can see across to Austria and even further afield to Switzerland.
