Klagenfurt am Wörthersee — Travel Tips & Apartments

Who this location suits

• Couples who want a compact old town and a swimming lake in the same trip
• Families and groups — one of our apartments sleeps eight
• Guests arriving by car: Villa 100und10 has its own parking spaces on the grounds

The old town, Neuer Platz and the courtyards

Klagenfurt's centre is small and dense. Neuer Platz with the Lindwurm fountain — the city's emblem — runs into Alter Platz, and all around them lie the arcaded courtyards that give the old town its Renaissance character. Much of it reveals itself simply by wandering, without a plan and without long distances. If you like a city where you can walk back from dinner to your apartment without taking transport, that counts for something here.

Lake Wörthersee

Lake Wörthersee lies west of the city and in summer it is the reason many people come to Klagenfurt at all. At the eastern end, where the city meets the water, you find the lidos and the Europapark. From the centre the Lend Canal runs in that direction. How long it takes from your apartment depends on the building — we are not putting a number here that we have not measured.

Where our apartments are

Our six Klagenfurt apartments are spread across three buildings. Four of them are in Villa 100und10 on Koschatstraße and are called Moos, Pazifik, Rose and Stone — this building has its own parking spaces on the grounds, which is worth more than it sounds in a city where you drive out to the lake. There is also a studio on Gabelsbergerstraße and a large apartment on Sponheimerstraße that sleeps eight. What each one offers in terms of kitchen, laundry and equipment is listed on the individual apartment page.

Getting around, with and without a car

You do not need a car for the old town; it is compact enough to cover on foot. As soon as you want to head to the lake or further out into Carinthia, a car becomes useful. Klagenfurt is connected to long-distance rail via its main station, and Klagenfurt Airport (KLU) sits on the edge of the city. Which bus line stops near your building goes into the facts box as soon as we have checked it per location.

Onwards from Klagenfurt

Carinthia opens up well from here: the villages around Lake Wörthersee, and to the west Villach, where we also run apartments. From there it is not far to Italy and Slovenia. We deliberately do not quote travel times — they depend on route, season and traffic, and guessing would be worse than leaving it open.

Getting there & around

Klagenfurt has a long-distance rail connection via its main station, plus Klagenfurt Airport (KLU) on the edge of the city. Buses run within the city. Concrete lines, stops and journey times go into the facts box once we have checked them per location — estimated times do not go into this text.

Parking

This differs by apartment. Villa 100und10 on Koschatstraße has its own parking spaces on the grounds. For the studio on Gabelsbergerstraße and the apartment on Sponheimerstraße we have not yet finished checking the parking rules; what applies is stated on the individual apartment page, and we are not claiming anything beyond that here.
