The historic center of the city of Konstanz is the Münster. Let our guide show you the special features of the former Episcopal Church and experience a piece of contemporary history to touch.

The sprawling Münsterplatz is lined with mighty cathedral courtyards from the Baroque period, when Constance was still a bishop's seat. It was also the site of the "Constantia" castle, built by the Romans almost 2000 years ago, which finally gave Constance its name. Take a look at the remains of the ancient Roman castle walls.

In the oldest district of Konstanz, the Niederburg, medieval stone houses, pawnshops of wealthy cathedral owners and impressive administrative buildings from the Baroque period still dominate today. Walking through the narrow old streets and with the anecdotes of our guide, you will see the vivid image of a very well preserved medieval city.

The Wessenbergstraße leads through the middle of the pedestrian zone of Konstanz. Browse one of the many original shops and recharge your batteries in one of the cosy cafés. Our guide will be happy to pass on tips to you!

The Obermarkt was an important trading centre in earlier times. Here was also the pillory, with the help of which punishments were carried out in public in the Middle Ages. During the Council period, the "cradle of Prussia" stood here, of all places in Germany's last tip. Our guide knows how to tell you all this and much more.

In the heart of the council city of Constance is the Kaiserbrunnen, named after the numerous kings and emperors who have made a stop in Constance over the course of history.
