Lake Constance itself already provides stunning natural surroundings. However, the residents of Constance have made these environs even more beautiful by creating different parks right on the shores of the lake. Little Venice and the municipal gardens are the venues for various cultural events and offer breathtaking views across the lake, which are even more unforgettable at night when seen from the splendidly illuminated municipal gardens .Lake Constance

Constance's "Little Venice" is located directly on the shores of Lake Constance and on the border with Switzerland. It is a recreation area for the locals as well as a venue for cultural and sporting events. It also contains the Sea Life Centre and the "Steine im Fluss" (stones in the river) interactive outdoor exhibition where you can learn all about the region's geology.Municipal Gardens
The Constance municipal gardens were opened in 1879 and have always been a popular recreation area for locals and visitors alike.

Today the gardens are under a preservation order.
