Lindau Travel Forum

Hi, all!

I'm toying with a trip itinerary involving travel from Munich to Switzerland at the end of August. I came up with the idea of purchasing a Bayern Ticket and taking local trains to Lindau, then staying overnight in Lindau, continuing into Switzerland the next morning on a Swisspass (paying for the bit from Lindau to St Margrethen).

My question: I know Lindau is a major vacation destination in August. Is there any chance of getting a room for 1 night somewhere midweek? If not, might there be a small village nearby with a B&B or something similar?

If I may ask another question :), does anyone have information on the boat from Lindau to Rorschach? Might it be possible to take an evening boat to Rorschach/St Gallen and stay overnight there?

Thanks for the help!

Last boat dep. Lindau at 18:10 and is in Rorschach at 19:00.

But I think you can find something in Lindau.

Thanks, Abalada! If we can get a place in Lindau for the night, we could even take the morning boat to Rorschach, then use the Swisspass for the bus to St Gallen and on into Switzerland. A scenic and slightly cheaper (EUR 9) alternative to the train. (and Swisspass might even be valid on the boat...:)

Cheers,
