Introducing Klagenfurt
Provincial and not an urban centre comparable with Graz or Vienna, Klagenfurt walks a very fine line between being Austria’s boondocks capital and a playground for a partying set. For all this, it’s an enjoyable, sunny city that offers easy access to some good swimming and water sports, and to lakeside villages on and around the beautiful Wörthersee. Several attractive medieval towns to the north are also within easy reach.

Ring roads today mark the site of the old city walls, pulled down in 1809 on the orders of Napoleon, while the city centre has attractive Renaissance courtyards, alleyways and arcades, many filled with smart boutiques and cafés.
At the town’s western limit is the wide green space of Europapark, home to a couple of children’s attractions including the bizarre world-in-miniature of Minimundus.
