There is much to discover - between the romantic squares of the city center and the soothing tranquility of the lake in winter: Austria's southernmost state capital celebrates the Christmas season in colorful variety between the Domplatz (cathedral square), Carinthia's largest Advent market in front of the city hall and contemplative concerts in the Landhaushof, one of the oldest buildings in the city.

Strolling through brightly lit streets, plunging into the Renaissance courtyards in search of the perfect gift and enjoying specialties from the Alps-Adriatic region in the restaurants: this is probably the best way to experience the Christmas spirit. Families will find a wide range of entertainment options with the excursion destinations such as Minimundus, the observatory, the city parish tower including the viewing platform and the Lake Wörthersee boat trip.

On weekends, the boat trip connects Klagenfurt with the Advent markets around the lake - to Velden and by bus even up to the Pyramidenkogel. For those interested in culture, the art nouveau city theater, but also smaller stages such as the Kammerlichtspiele offer a varied program. Galleries as well as concerts in the cathedral and concert hall round off the offer.
