I'm planning to spend about 3 days at Lake Constance. I've chosen Meersburg as a base to visit Constance, Lindau and Uberlingen. Is that OK ? Should I visit other ones ?

That's quite a lot for three days. I'd rather see (flower island) Mainau than Ueberlingen and perhaps skip Konstanz/Constance.

From my memory Constance is larger and I think more pretty than Meersburg. I'd also plan in the Schauffesen Rhine Falls in Switzerland which are awesome and definitely worth visiting. Lindau is very picturesque, but remember the boats are horribly expensive

3 days is plenty of time to go around the lake, stopping at various places. See my Europe page (http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/c51e6/1/), August 2003 half way down, for details of a similar trip I did, plus links to my town-specific travel pages. Meersburg was very pretty, Lindau was nice, and the Rhine Falls (the largest waterfalls in Europe) are worth seeing when combined with a visit to Schaffhausen. I have not been to Uberlingen.

Thanks a lot everybody ! Your suggestions make me rethink about how long should stay at Lake Constance surroundings. I've taken notes of the highlights. Thanks again !
