The third largest town in the canton of Thurgau on the southern shore of Lake Constance looks back on a rich history. Traces of pile-dwellers and Roman city walls have been preserved. There is also an intact medieval old town to discover. Or the legacy of the industrial pioneer Adolf Saurer with his motor vehicles. The glittering Lake Constance adorns Arbon's trains and invites you to refreshing water experiences. But thanks to its location near the border triangle, excursions across the border to Germany or Austria are also possible.
Arbon's eventful past began almost 5500 years ago with a pile-dwelling settlement. Then came the Romans, the Middle Ages, modern times and industrialisation. There are vivid witnesses of each epoch in Arbon. Incidentally, Arbon is a UNESCO-World Heritage Site for its pile-dwelling settlement, which today lies well preserved under a car park. In the Historical Museum in Arbon Castle there is a wonderfully staged exhibition on the subject and many original finds. Parts of the old city wall and towers from Roman times have been preserved in the city. They can be discovered on a cleverly designed discovery tour around the castle. In just 15 minutes, 5500 years of Arbon's eventful history are presented here.
The location on the lake provides Arbon with great bathing opportunities. The Buchhorn Lido with its park-like sunbathing lawn was built by the people of Arbon at the beginning of the 20th century. It has been designated one of the most beautiful baths in Switzerland by the Swiss Heritage Society. Next door is the Buchhorn camping site. The Arbon swimming pool on the lakeside promenade offers various pools and, of course, lake access. And the only ten-metre jumping tower on the southern shore of Lake Constance! Near Egnach is the Wiedehorn Lido, also with a campsite next door. The baths are all very child-friendly.
