City overview
One of the reasons many tourists choose to take a flight to Friedrichshafen is due to its central location. Not only is Friedrichshafen on the banks of Lake Constance (Bodensee in German) which offers many tourist activities but it is also close to Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein, so it makes a great base to explore this part of Europe. Friedrichshafen itself has a relatively short history, having been established in 1811. Largely rebuilt after heavy bombing during Second World War, Friedrichshafen is arguably most famous for its connection to Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the founder of the Zeppelin airship company. In fact, it is possible to take a flight in one of these magnificent airships from Friedrichshafen airport. The flights last up to a couple of hours and, due to the big demand for seats, need to be booked months in advance. For fans of this airship and aeronautics in general, a trip to the Zeppelin museum in Friedrichshafen is also a must. It holds the largest aviation collection in the world alongside an impressive art collection of pieces created in Friedrichshafen and the region over the last 500 years.
Getting around Friedrichshafen
There is an extensive bus network operating in and around Friedrichshafen. Given its proximity to the lake, there is also the option of catching various ferries to other destinations in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Many travellers chose to purchase all day travel cards (tageskarte) which give unlimited travel on buses, trains and ferries for a set period of time. Also, bikes are a popular means of transport for some visitors; these can be hired from shops in Friedrichshafen.
