Tips & Advice

  • Leave your dog at home this year, since dogs are asked to stay away from the Harbour Christmas market.
  • If you have to drive, park at P1, P2 or the Lindau-Reutin station car park on the mainland, then walk or take the city bus over.
  • Coming from Bregenz, take the Vorarlberg Lines Christmas shuttle boat, since ships dock right at the entrance to the harbour market.
  • Visit on an Advent Saturday to add organ music at St. Stephen's Church, where you can also see the Christmas crib.
