General Sightseeing and Orientation in Klagenfurt

Klagenfurt is the provincial capital and cultural centre of Carinthia. The Neuer Platz at the centre of the city is inhabited by the city's symbol, the fountain of the ferocious dragon named Lindwurm.
During the summer months most of the residents and visitors visit the Wörther See (Lake Wörther) in the western part of the city.
Klagenfurt is a great base if you are visiting Carinthia's Lakes or St Viet or the Hochosterwitz Castle.
