Kreuzlingen is the largest Swiss city on Lake Constance and is located in the canton of Thurgau directly on the border with the German city of Constance. The two cities are so closely integrated structurally that the state border sometimes runs through the middle of residential areas and streets. Historically, Kreuzlingen is closely linked to the former Augustinian monastery from which the current municipality developed. A significant cultural heritage is Seeburg Castle with its extensive Seeburg Park, located directly on the lakeshore and considered one of the region's most beautiful parks. Economically, the city benefits from its location as an important border gateway and trading center. In addition to tourism, industrial sectors such as vehicle construction and the textile industry are of importance. Kreuzlingen also houses the Thurgau University of Teacher Education and is a major educational site. Recreational activities are characterized by Lake Constance, which has opportunities for water sports and shipping.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.

Start your day with spiritual tranquility at St. Ulrich Basilica before delving into city history at the Rosenegg Museum. At midday, Seeburg Park beckons with its green shores for a relaxing break. The afternoon is all about water: explore the historic Seeburg Castle, watch the activity at the harbor, and stroll along the lively Lake Constance Promenade. The day concludes with a journey to the stars at the Planetarium, a cosmic end to an earthbound day by the lake.
The walk begins at St. Ulrich Basilica, providing a dry sanctuary from the morning rain. The forenoon is dedicated to culture at the Rosenegg Museum, a perfect indoor escape. At noon, we traverse Seeburg Park. The wet promenades feel melancholic, yet the lake views remain charming even under grey skies. In the afternoon, we explore Seeburg Castle and the harbour. The wind from Lake Constance can be biting, making waterproof gear essential here. The evening concludes at the Kreuzlingen Planetarium. Under the dome, the weather no longer matters as we gaze at the stars.
A frosty morning begins at the Basilica. The mist over Lake Constance lends a mystical atmosphere to the town. At noon, we warm up in the Rosenegg Museum while diving into regional history. In the afternoon, the path leads to the lake. Seeburg Park is often deserted and peaceful, but the wind is icy. Sunset occurs as early as 4:30 PM. The evening belongs to the planetarium. Here we escape the cold and enjoy the artificial starry sky in cozy warmth.
Hop on your bike and start at the Dreispitz cultural center. The morning takes you to the historic heart with the basilica and the Rosenegg Museum. At noon, you'll leisurely cycle to Seeburg Park for a break by the lake. The afternoon is a tour de force along the shore: from Seeburg Castle via the harbor to the promenade. Finally, a last leg takes you to the Planetarium, where you'll end the day with a glimpse into infinity.
The day starts at Dreispitz. Rain makes the lakeside bike paths a bit slippery, but the route remains easily navigable. At noon, we seek shelter in the Basilica and later the Rosenegg Museum, where bikes can be parked safely. In the afternoon, we cycle through Seeburg Park to the harbour. Puddles splash, but the fresh, damp air is invigorating. For the evening, we park the bikes at the Planetarium. The ride through the night-time, wet Kreuzlingen after the show is atmospheric.
Start in freezing temperatures at Dreispitz. The cold lakeside air wakes you up quickly. At noon, we seek the warmth of the Basilica and the historical depth of the Rosenegg Museum. In the afternoon at the lake, enjoy clear views all the way to the Alps if it's not misty. Bike paths in the park are usually cleared, but watch out for hoarfrost. In the evening, the Planetarium offers the perfect respite from the cold before the short ride back.
Start comfortably by car and park at Seeburg Park to explore the lakeside cluster. Walk from the castle to the harbor, enjoy the promenade, and have lunch with a view. In the afternoon, drive to the city center. Park again and discover the basilica and the Rosenegg Museum on foot. A final short car hop takes you to the Planetarium to end your day with a look at the sky.
We park conveniently at the Seeburg car park. The car shields us from the first morning rain shower. At noon, we explore Seeburg Castle and the park with umbrellas in hand before driving to the central car park. The afternoon turns cultural at the Basilica and Rosenegg Museum. Re-parking saves us long walks through the rain. To finish, we head to the Planetarium. The short drive through rainy Kreuzlingen is pleasant in a warm car.
The winter morning starts relaxed with a drive to the lake. The car is pre-heated, providing shelter from the biting wind. At noon, we enjoy the snowy views in the park before retreating into the warm Basilica. In the afternoon, the Rosenegg Museum is on the agenda. Thanks to short walks from the car park, you don't stay in the cold for long. The evening ends at the Planetarium. The short drive home in the dark is safe and comfortable in the car.
