Friedrichshafen, the district capital of the Lake Constance region and a popular shopping destination, is known by many as the starting point of the Zeppelin. The beautiful lakeside promenade with numerous cafés, harbor and ferry port, the Graf-Zeppelin-Haus cultural center, as well as two large museums dedicated to aviation history—the Dornier Museum and the Zeppelin Museum—are all within easy reach.
