Find hotels in Lindau from CA $137

The best area to stay in Lindau is the Old Town (Altstadt), located on an island in Lake Constance.This historic district is the main attraction for visitors, known for its well-preserved medieval buildings, narrow lanes, and picturesque harbour entrance marked by the Lindau Lighthouse and the Bavarian Lion sculpture. Most of the shops, restaurants, and hotels are within easy walking distance of each other, particularly along Maximilianstrasse, the main pedestrian street.Couples often find the Old Town ideal for a romantic getaway. Strolling along the waterfront promenade, enjoying a meal at a lakeside restaurant, or exploring the charming streets makes for a memorable experience. The area is also well-connected by walking bridges and a causeway to the mainland, making it easy to arrive and depart.For families, staying on the mainland, particularly in areas just across the bridge from the Old Town, can be a good option. These areas often offer hotels with more spacious rooms, easier access to parking, and sometimes gardens or green spaces.

The best time to visit Lindau is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for outdoor activities and enjoying the lake.During these months, the average temperatures range from 20°C to 25°C, making it ideal for swimming in Lake Constance, hiking, or cycling along the shore. The longer daylight hours also mean more time to explore the island's charming streets, visit the lighthouse, and relax at lakeside cafes. Families will find this period particularly appealing, with many boat trips available and plenty of open spaces for children to enjoy.For those who prefer a quieter experience with pleasant weather for exploring without the peak season crowds, late spring (April-May) and early autumn (October) are also excellent choices. The temperatures are milder, usually between 10°C and 18°C, and the scenery is beautiful with blooming flowers or autumn colours.
