Friedrichshafen is at the northeastern corner of the Lake Konstanz (Bodensee), near the lake's widest point. This mostly modern city was almost completely rebuilt after World War II. It has one of the longest waterfront exposures of any town along the lake. Besides that, the town's highlights are two interesting museums and the dome-capped Schlosskirche, the premier reminder of Friedrichshafen's baroque past.

A 45-minute car ferry service links Friedrichshafen to Romanshorn, Switzerland. From there, you can board express trains to Swiss cities like Zurich, Lucerne and Bern.

Get around

See

• Zeppelin Musuem[1] , Seestrasse 22. This is the town's top tourist attraction. The musuem is built around a full-scale recreated section of the Hindenburg, at 245m the largest airship ever made. Take note however, that most signs are in German only.

• Schlosskirche, Klosterstrasse. The twin onion-domed, baroque Schlosskirche was built between 1695 and 1701 by the Christian Thumb.

• Schulmuseum, Friedrichstrasse 14. This museum traces the development of education between 1850 (when classes were taught by monks and nuns), and 1930 (when education was the responsibility of the German state)
