Sitting on the banks of Lake Constance, Friedrichshafen is a vibrant, modern city — and the birthplace of the Zeppelin airship. With an expansive waterfront promenade, a crop of excellent museums and a plethora of outdoorsy activities, this is a brilliant choice for a busy weekend break. The best places to stay in Friedrichshafen are stylish and central, perfect for making the most of all that the city has to offer.
Largely destroyed by Allied bombing during the Second World War, Friedrichshafen has been extensively rebuilt, and has few historic landmarks. The 18th-century Schlosskirche is a rare example of Baroque architecture and well worth visiting. Guided walking tours, on the other hand, offer a fascinating insight into the rebuilding of the city, which now has a fresh, modern feel. The impressive Dornier Museum and Zeppelin Museum are top-notch, both detailing the city’s history of aviation through exceptional interactive exhibits.
Amble along the promenade and pick a perch for a cold brew in the Starrschorsch beer garden after a boat trip, fishing excursion or kayaking tour on Lake Constance. No trip to Friedrichshafen is complete without soaring through the skies by Zeppelin, with the snow-capped peaks of the Alps and the glittering waters of Lake Constance shimmering below.
