I am planning to return to Lake Constance and would appreciate suggestions for towns and why as well as zimmers for under 60 euros per night for 2 in summer. I so enjoyed Lindau and have heard there are more wonderful places to visit on lake. RS does not incl this area in his guidebook.

The view of the Alps is best seen from the lakefront in Friedrichshafen. Best restaurant, just a block from the lakefront: Lukullum. Then Meersburg (castle, walled old town) is a must-see, also Mainau island and downtown of Konstanz. St. Gallen in Switzerland is very pretty and interesting and so is a trip up Mt. Säntis. Also the entire lakefront between Lindau and Friedrichshafen is full of pretty mansions, little castles, pretty villages...
