Klagenfurt is a cozy Austrian city in the heart of Carinthia, where history and nature intertwine. Its old streets, Alter Platz Square and views of the nearby lakes and mountains create a warm, disposing atmosphere; the city retains traces of medieval buildings and at the same time feels a lively modern rhythm, attracting travelers who are looking for what to see and what to fill the day.
The man-made sights of Klagenfurt amaze with diversity: the botanical garden reveals collections of European and exotic plants, the Lindwurm-Brunnen fountain with the figure of a dragon has long become a symbol of the city and a popular photo point, and the Alter Platz - the central square from Landhouse to Bahnhofstrasse - stores the urban spirit and architectural layers of different eras. On the hill of Magdalensberg rises the Late Gothic complex of the Church of St. Helena and Magdalena, and nearby you can see the historical castle of Rotenturn, standing between the Drava River and Lake Millstatter See.
The natural gems of the region are no less impressive: Mount Magdalensberg and the surrounding forests provide excellent routes for walking and hiking, the promenades near the reservoirs and banks of Millstatter See beckon with eyes and tranquility, and the Wildensteiner Falls, noted in local descriptions as one of the notable natural places, adds emotion and lively landscapes. The abundance of parks, green areas and the proximity of the mountains make Klagenfurt an excellent base for combining urban and natural programs.
