Bodenseen saaria ympäröi smaragdinvihreät vedet. Reichenau on tunnettu samannimisestä luostarista, joka on myös perintökohde. Mainau taas on upeiden puistojen ja puutarhojen kukkaissaari.

The islands of Reichenau and Mainau are set against the backdrop of the Alps. Reichenau Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage site, illustrates the religious and cultural role played by the abbey in the Middle Ages. The monks' illuminations are famous around the world. A riot of vibrant blooms with lush tropical and subtropical vegetation are the abiding memory of a trip to Mainau, the flower island. With thousands of different colours, shapes and fragrances, it is a unique experience for the senses.

Constance has a wide range of museums housed in a variety of locations. Those interested in the history of work and urban development from the Middle Ages to the present day should visit the Rosgarten Museum. Nature lovers will enjoy the Lake Constance Natural History Museum and fans of archaeology shouldn't miss the Baden-Württemberg Museum of Archaeology.

As Lake Constance is on the border of Switzerland, Austria and Germany, the art and cultural scene in its largest town has many different influences.
