1 lake - 3 countries - 1,000 possibilities... all of them waiting for you! Whether for individual holidays or group travel: Friedrichshafen, the town on the lake, is an ideal place for holidays and relaxation for young and old. The magnificent situation on the northerly banks of Lake Constance opens the door for virtually unlimited possibilities. The unique panorama view of the lake and the mountains tempts with spectacular excursions. Unendless holiday activities and free-time offers on and around the lake are just waiting for you to discover them. One of the first choices for a family holiday is the recognised recreation resort Ailingen, a district of Friedrichshafen. Ailingen offers a wide range of  family-friendly accommodation from cosy holiday flats to comfortable hotel rooms or a holiday on a farm. In the competition “Family holiday in Baden-Württemberg” Ailingen won first place in 1998, 2000, 2004, 2006 and 2009. more

... particularly when it comes to food and drink. We're known and loved as a region of bon vivants, if at the same time almost infamous for our culinary treats rich in calories. Friedrichshafen's gastronomy and the rural inns in and around Ailingen extend a warm welcome and invite you on a culinary journey through southern Germany. Allow yourself to be tempted by Swabian specialities: freshly caught whitefish from Lake Constance, accompanied by a drop of something exquisite to tickle your palate... is your mouth watering? Let our wealth of delicacies inspire you! more

Whether luxurious, homely or low-budget: in Friedrichshafen you'll find a large range of types of accommodation on offer. Whatever your preference, we have it - hotels and private rooms, holiday homes and flats, camp-sites and hostels. Where would you like to spend your holiday? more

When it comes to culture, Friedrichshafen has a lot to offer: from museums and literature to theatre, ballet and operettas. Concert-lovers are also well catered for: every style is represented - from classical music to pop or jazz - from major events to atmospheric club ambience.

You can experience a huge variety of different festivities and events, all of which are summed up by the motto 'Friedrichshafen celebrates and enjoys...'.
