The city
Lindau is the only Bavarian town on Lago de Constança and has its old town on an island of less than 1 km², connected to the mainland by a bridge and a railway causeway. A former Free Imperial City, it preserves the Maximilianstraße with houses from the 16th and 17th centuries, the painted Altes Rathaus, the Mangturm tower and, at the harbor entrance, the Bavarian lion and the lighthouse that can be climbed in season.

The local experience
The entrance to Lindau's harbor, with the six-metre león da Baviera on a jetty and the Neuer Leuchtturm of 1856 on the other side. The lighthouse, the only one in Baviera, can be climbed in season.
Square tower from the 12th century on Lindau's quay, a former watch and signaling tower for the harbor until 1856. The roof of glazed, colored tiles is one of the island's symbols.
The island’s main street, for pedestrians only, with merchant and artisan houses from the 16th and 17th centuries, arcades, bay windows and old hoists on the roofs.
The old town hall of Lindau, built from 1422 in the Gothic style and remodelled in the Renaissance, with stepped gables, a covered staircase and a painted façade depicting scenes from the town’s history.
The oldest church in Lindau, in the former fishermen’s quarter, with Passion of Christ frescoes from the late 15th century. Today it serves as a memorial to the victims of the wars.
Baroque church on Lindau’s market square, rebuilt between 1748 and 1752 by Johann Caspar Bagnato. Opposite stands St. Stephan, the town’s largest church, with a bulbous cupola tower.
Baroque mansion from 1729–1730 on the market square, with a tall curved roof and painted façade. It houses the city museum, with Lindau's history and temporary art exhibitions.
