On a sunny day there are clear views of the mighty Swiss Alps as you stroll along the bustling lakeside promenade. Pavement cafés, ice-cream parlours and glorious flowerbeds all add to the holiday mood. For a truly memorable experience, take a trip in the unique Zeppelin NT airship and enjoy a bird's eye view of Lake Constance and the surrounding region.

With its twin 55-metre domed towers made from Rorschach sandstone, the Palace Church (Schlosskirche) is the town's famous landmark and can be seen from far out across the lake. The Zeppelin Museum is a highlight of any trip to Friedrichstadt. Just like the old Zeppelins, the new museum has played a major part in putting the town of Friedrichshafen on the map.

The "Zeppelin Museum of Technology and Art" is the largest airship museum in the world. The School Museum shows the fascinating development in the history of education from the medieval monastery school to classrooms through the ages.
