💡 Tips
- The car ferry to Friedrichshafen takes about 45 minutes and gives great views; buy your tickets online in advance to save time.
- Rent a bicycle near the train station to explore the flat, highly scenic Lake Constance Cycle Path (Bodensee-Radweg).
- If you plan on exploring, consider the Bodensee Ticket which covers trains, buses, and ferries across international borders.
- A visit to the 'Autobau Erlebniswelt' car museum is worthwhile even if you aren't a gearhead; reserve a couple of hours for it.

Water temperature…
Located in the canton of Thurgau on the southern shore of Lake Constance, Romanshorn is known for its major port, the largest on the lake. The city is a vital transport hub with ferry links to Friedrichshafen in Germany and excellent rail connections. The long lakeside promenade with its parks is well-suited for walks and bike rides. Culturally, the town hosts the 'autobau erlebniswelt', an impressive collection of sports and racing cars. For cuisine, you must try the fresh whitefish from Lake Constance served in local restaurants. Getting there is very easy by train, car, or boat. The best time to visit is from spring to autumn, when the weather is convenient for outdoor activities on and around the water.
