3 things to see
A medieval wine town on Lake Constance with the oldest inhabited castle in Germany (the Altes Schloss), a baroque new palace, and steep cobblestone lanes running down to the ferry pier. Wandering the old town, the promenade, and the vineyard slopes above the lake costs nothing, and the views over the water are free. Budget travelers take the ferry from Konstanz and spend half a day in one of the most atmospheric small towns in southern Germany. Spring and autumn are quieter and cheaper than the summer lake-tourism peak.
