After 10 hours of driving (with a trailer) we arrived safely in Meersburg. We did some initial exploration. The rest of the wine festival was still in the upper town. We now taste the wine on our terrace or in the conservatory. 🍷🍷🍷🍷😋

It's best to start the tour at the harbor (and take a day ticket for the ships). Then always into the hustle and bustle between shops, shops, bars and hotels. The alleys and house fronts are beautiful, you can discover something new on every corner. From a cultural/historical point of view, the castle and palace are also worth visiting. If …

If you love the old town, you've come to the right place😍 We spent 10 lovely days here. I've recorded a few routes to show you a few photos. It's really beautiful there, but it's also completely geared towards tourism. From around 7pm in the evening, when the tourists from outside have left, the town is quiet again🤣

Today we were in Meersburg. A great, beautiful, romantic and historical city 😍 with lots of museums, castle, etc. (see highlights). So a lot of input 🤣.

We think Meersburg is great, definitely worth a visit 👌👍 But everyone else thought so too 🙈, so it was difficult to take photos without people 🤭

Meersburg - Google research came up with 'most beautiful town on Lake Constance', among other things. I can't judge that, I've hardly visited any cities here, but it's nice. And the city also has charm. With the lower town right on the water, and the upper town with the castle and the great views over Lake Constance.
