Frequently Asked Questions

Lindau-Insel Hauptbahnhof is situated on the island town of Lindau directly on Lake Constance, with the harbour, lighthouse, and Bavarian Lion statue a three-minute walk from the platform. Boats to Bregenz, Constance, and Swiss lakeside towns depart from the adjacent harbour.

Railjet services run from Lindau through Bregenz to Innsbruck and Vienna, while IC trains connect to Munich in around two hours. The Bodensee-Gürtelbahn regional line also circles much of Lake Constance towards Constance and connects to the Swiss network at Kreuzlingen.

The station is a modest island terminus with ticket machines, a café kiosk, and bicycle hire nearby. The historic old town, with its painted merchant houses and medieval alleys, is entirely walkable from the station in every direction.

Luggage lockers are available at the station in limited numbers. For a wider selection of storage options, Lindau-Reutin station on the mainland, served by the same rail line, offers additional facilities before the causeway crossing.

The BSB and ÖBB Postbus ferries depart from Lindau harbour to Bregenz (Austria), Constance, and Meersburg, with some services calling at Swiss ports including Romanshorn and Rorschach. A circumnavigation of Lake Constance by combining rail and boat makes an outstanding day trip from Lindau.
