Lindau (Bodensee) (alemannisch: Lindau/Lindou ['lɪːnɗʌʊ] oder Linda/Linde ['lɪːnɗɛ]; früher Lindau im Bodensee) ist eine Große Kreisstadt und Verwaltungssitz des gleichnamigen Landkreises im bayerischen Regierungsbezirk Schwaben.
Die Stadt, ehemals Freie Reichsstadt (bis 1806), liegt am östlichen Ufer des Bodensees im Dreiländereck Deutschland–Österreich–Schweiz; ihr historisches Zentrum ist eine Insel im See.
Im Sommer ist der Tourismus eine wichtige Einnahmequelle der Stadt, die wegen ihrer einzigartigen Lage am Bodensee viele Besucher anzieht.

Meersburg, literally a Burg by the sea, is a charming medieval town on the shores of Lake Constance. Besides well-kept half-timbered houses and interesting town gates, the town is home to two castles, the Old Castle (Altes Schloss) and the New Castle (Neues Schloss).
