As a visitor to Boms, you should definitely visit the market square, where the 16th century town hall is located. Here you will also find numerous restaurants and cafés serving regional specialities - be sure to try Kässpätzle or Maultaschen!

For cultural highlights, we recommend a visit to the local history museum as well as the town church of St. Ulrich and Afra with its impressive baroque façade. In summer, you can also take part in various festivals such as the music festival.

When it comes to outdoor activities, Boms offers many possibilities: Hiking on well-marked paths through the hilly landscape or cycling along the Lake Constance cycle path are popular activities during the warm season. In winter, the nearby Allgäu ski region invites you to ski and snowboard adventures.

But what to do when it rains? Don't worry - there are plenty of indoor activities in Boms, such as visits to museums or a tour of a local brewery.

Boms is particularly beautiful in spring, when everything blossoms and awakens; but the town also shines in bright colours in autumn. No matter what time of year you come, Boms is always worth a visit.

We hope this Travel Guide will help you plan your trip to Boms and make many unforgettable memories!
