What to expect

1
Constance Harbour

The first stop is at the port in front of the historic council building. A pope was elected here in 1417. Our guide will shake some things out of your sleeve and tell you, among other things, why Constance is still a stone-rich city today and why visitors were once burned here in 3 devil's name. You will also get to know the port beauty of Constance called Imperia - an impressive statue of an equally impressive lady, who allegedly had a lot of men on her hands 600 years ago, during the Council period, and therefore always took a lot out of her. Let the stories, anecdotes and proverbs transport our guide to the not-so-dark Middle Ages!

Duration 15 minutes
2
Stadtgarten

With a view of Lake Constance, we will no longer put our guided city tour on the back burner, but put a step up and take you around the next corner. And of course you can always add your mustard and grate liquorice...

Duration 10 minutes
3

Fischmarkt

<nil>

Here at the old Konstanz fish market stands the "Hohe Haus". A mural will show you how you used to live on a large footing, but you weren't allowed to do it too colorfully and if necessary you had to let the cat out of the bag. Don’t worry, our guide won’t show you around, but he/she has several irons in the fire and will make sure everything is in butter and no louse is put in your fur!

Duration 15 minutes
4
Munsterplatz, Konstanz

Nowadays, Münsterplatz is characterized by powerful cathedral courtyards from the late Renaissance and Baroque periods, built at a time when Constance was still an important seat of a bishop. At that time, however, you were still powdered with the staple bag if you scratched the curve without singing or sound. But trust our guide, he/she will not let the sow out of here!

Duration 10 minutes
5

Münster Unserer Lieben Frau

<nil>

Be careful here, not that the minster bells hit 13 more! Instead, our guide will swear you will get out of the eternal treadmill – even if it seems Spanish to you, but bet you will finally have the opportunity to shut up and float on Cloud 7 in the venerable Konstanz Minster?

Duration 15 minutes
6

Niederburg

But let's not get bogged down, because your guide will now accompany you with Hinz and Kunz and child and cone through the oldest district of Konstanz, the Niederburg. The mouse doesn't bite a thread if you're all in cahoots by now and are so excited about our city tour that you're out of control! But somehow our guides have to earn their spurs!

Duration 15 minutes
7

Wessenbergstraße 3

<nil>

Do not torch for long and accompany our guide into Wessenbergstraße. Out of the blue, he/she will pull stories from the Constance past out of the hat and most certainly hit the nail on the head with it. Bad luck if you don’t listen – but we don’t care!

Duration 10 minutes
8

St. Stephan

Here at the Catholic parish church of St. Stephen, there are three good things, and to get you on a green branch, you should not silence our guide, but write behind the ears what he/she knows how to tell you. After all, he/she is not playing schindluder with you!

Duration 10 minutes
9

Konstanzer Obermarkt

The Obermarkt was an important marketplace in earlier times. But here also stood the pillory, at which slit ears were subjected to their more or less appropriate punishment. However, our guide won't let you down, instead touching one or the other hot iron and messing with his/her stories with skin and hair, even if you don't know about doing and blowing!

Duration 10 minutes
10
Kaiserbrunnen

Here at the Kaiserbrunnen at the market place, in the middle of the lively Konstanz pedestrian zone, our guide, otherwise no quack, will pull a few antics and tell you about the horse, after all, it's about the sausage. After that, he/she will leave and you will say: Pig had that we grabbed the opportunity by the lap and had us taken around the corners of Constance without being cupped!

Duration 10 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
