A Konstanz day tends to run in two halves: mornings among the cobbled lanes of the old town and the cathedral, afternoons at the lake and harbor, and an indoor stop when the weather turns. The 6 tours below slot in that way, from self-guided walks to the aquarium.

How These Konstanz Tours Were Chosen
Konstanz sits on the western shore of Lake Constance beside the Swiss border, and its old town largely escaped wartime bombing. The Council of Constance, held from 1414 to 1418, drew popes, kings and thousands of delegates, and Imperia, the giant statue at the harbor entrance, nods to that story.
