When to visit Konstanz
High and low season in Konstanz
Summer is the peak time to visit Konstanz, when warm weather makes the most of the Lake Constance waterfront and outdoor dining spots fill up quickly. July and August are the busiest months, so booking accommodation a few weeks in advance is sensible. The long daylight hours give you plenty of time to explore the old town and get out on the water.
Visiting in the cooler months, particularly November through February, means far fewer visitors and generally lower prices on accommodation. Some outdoor attractions and boat services may run on reduced schedules, and the weather can be grey and cold. That said, the historic centre is easy to explore year-round, and the quieter atmosphere has its own appeal.
Konstanz hosts the Seenachtfest, a well-known summer festival on the lake featuring fireworks and open-air entertainment. A Christmas market also draws visitors to the old town during December. For a full picture of what's on during your stay, the local tourism office and the official Konstanz tourism website are good places to check before your trip.
