Why this trip
Lake Constance is an inland sea, and in Konstanz families are on the water straight away: lakeside promenade, meadows and swimming spots can be reached on foot from the station. From May to September it is warm enough for swimming, and the ships run frequently. The old town is medieval and largely car-free, ideal for children who want to walk and eat ice cream without traffic. A boat trip to the flower island of Mainau is part of the programme for many families, with a butterfly house, playground and paths between flower beds.
Shorter trips across the lake are also an experience for children that needs no further planning. At the harbour a walk to the statue that slowly rotates is worthwhile, and to the gulls circling over the water. For families from Switzerland the journey is short, often without a change, which spares children long trips. Stuttgart, Munich and Cologne are the neighbours in Germany, but Konstanz is enough for a long weekend or a week by the lake.
A room near the lake, bikes for the family and a lunch break in the shade make the difference. You clarify everything else in a video call with Swiss Vibes.
Getting there
The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
