We stayed in central location to make strolling through old town easy and enjoyable. We even ate at a local favorite with the help of a waitress who could translate the menu so we could order local fare
There was a Christmas festival while we visited, with lots of cool booths and attractions. The old town here has ancient buildings, trendy shops and restaurants. It was a delight to visit.
We spent a few hours here at the end of a day exploring northeastern Switzerland and enjoyed discovering the fairytale-like streets and alleyways. A very charming place and one of the prettiest in Germany.
Some lovely old buildings and mostly in very good condition make this a town worth walking around. It's not large and is easy to navigate.
Nice old town near the Harbour! the streets of the old town are full of magazines and restaurants. Great architecture!The building are coloured! You can easily get to the old plan of the city near the gorgeous church! It has a beautiful fountain!
We took a substantial amount of photos of the old buildings in Konstanz as we were struck by the impressive architecture, upkeep and presentation of centuries' old buildings.
It's a quintessential European old town with cobble stone roads and paths encaged by old buildings, some going back over 800 years. There are lots of restaurants dotted all over the place. Our favorite is Karma, which offers Indian, Thai and Malaysian cooking.It's similar to old towns all over Europe, albeit with a German touch, which is a complement. As a lot of Swiss cross over the border for cheaper shopping and dining it is packed full of Swiss Germans on the weekends.What amazes me is that Switzerland also has it's fair share of attractive old towns and decent enough waterfronts, however, they cannot offer the likes of what Konstanz has. Hospitality comes from the heart, when you don't have it, you don't have it.This is a place I enjoy and that I frequent every few months.
Konstanz was not bombed in the second world war because it was right next to the Swiss border, so in the old town there are some interesting decorated houses , with interesting pictures on the outside , as well as some fine churches such as the Trinity Church. The pedestrian precinct has a wide choice of reasonably priced shops and cafes
The old town is quite small so it really doesn't take that long. You'd have to stretch it out to make it last half a day.
Its a nice town to spend few hours in there, the old town is full of shops, bars and restaurants. The building are coloured in beautiful colours. It has a beautiful fountain and architecture.
