Theatre Performances
Italianate arcades run around a central courtyard used for summer theatre performances. Highlights are its 3-D projections, and one not to be missed has been developed in cooperation with the Hohe Tauern National Park: you sit at a joystick and navigate a virtual flight through the park, doing hair-raising climbs and dives between altitudes of 100m and 10,000m while changing the angle of flight. Another 3-D cinema projection takes you on a journey through Carinthia. The museum has a small brochure with information in English.

Restaurant Zellot
This is possibly the most important address in town: it’s a funky and rather eccentric restaurant that does a good steak as well as Austrian staples. On top of that, it has the Glashaus bar and bistro (open 9am to 1am Monday to Saturday), and the Garage, a space for live acts and DJs that is decked out like a garage and whose features become even more intriguing after your second drink. It’s open 9.30pm to 4am Friday and Saturday.

Mettnitzer
Zellot is a hard act to beat all round, but Mettnitzer – the finest eatery in town – does it from the purely gastronomic standpoint. It has a strong focus on steaks, and you can also get one of our favourites – a salad with beef strips (€8.90).
