- Take cruise trips to neighbouring harbour towns like Bregenz, Konstanz or Friedrichshafen. You can plan a day trip from Lindau to Bregenz, and climb the Pfänder mountain at Bregenz that offers great views of the lake.
- Rent a paddleboat or a rowing boat. This is also the only way to get to the tiny island which is just big enough for one tree. One place to rent these boats is at the entrance of the island, to the right-hand side when entering via the main car bridge (Bootsvermietung Lindau).
- Sit in one of the restaurants by the lakeside and enjoy variety of cuisines.
- On the West side of the island there are very few places giving access to the water where swimming is possible, but do not expect a beach. Also on the West side there are small grassy patches where you can enjoy the sun and have a picnic.
- Take a tour on the Lindau Science Trail and learn more about Nobel Laureates and their scientific breakthroughs. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings organise free guided tours for groups.
- Go to theatre or music events.
