The best shopping in Konstanz isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Niederburg old quarter are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Bodensee Therme — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Konstanz sits on the Swiss-German border at the point where the Rhine flows out of Lake Constance, a medieval university city that survived World War II intact due to its proximity to neutral Switzerland.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Konstanz. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Niederburg old quarter — the oldest part of Konstanz with narrow medieval streets, half-timbered houses, and artisan workshops in a former Dominican monastery quarter, plus hidden gems like Bodensee Therme — lakeside thermal baths with views across the water to the Alps, a relaxing end to a walking day and Reichenau Island — a UNESCO-listed monastic island in the lake reachable by causeway, with three medieval churches and vegetable gardens.
Use this page as a starting point for a Konstanz walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Konstanz. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Konstanz for lakes and history, but every walking route ends up passing through Niederburg old quarter and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Bodensee Therme — it reflects what the people of Konstanz actually buy, make, and value.
Walk along the Rhine from the old town to the Seerhein quarter, then follow the lakeside path — you will cross the Swiss border without even noticing.
May through September for lakeside walking weather, with Mainau Island's gardens at their peak bloom from late April through October.
