The city of Villach is
located to the west of the Klagenfurt Basin, at the confluence
of the Drau and Gail rivers. It can be described as climatically
privileged, enjoying a Mediterranean ambiance yet boasting
typical Austrian vitality, steeped in history yet modern,
romantic yet upbeat and full of joie de vivre. A city that will
bring a smile to your lips. Villach is well known for its
cultural diversity: cabaret, comedy, fantastic festivals and
talented performers. The entire city resembles one big stage.
But if all that exuberance gets too much, the wellness and
fitness attractions around Villach’s healing waters offer plenty
of rest and relaxation. Those seeking sport and action can swim
in some of Europe’s most sparkling lakes and hike in a
spectacular landscape. And when the winter snow blankets
Villach’s charming old town, you might think you’ve stepped into
fairyland. But the mulled wine and roasted chestnuts are real
enough and of course most welcome after a great day’s skiing!
