Klagenfurt Private Walking Tour
Klagenfurt is a quiet, beautiful, and sunny city with gorgeous natural surroundings. The capital city of Carinthia is nestled on the scenic banks of lake Wörthersee. Admire the 800-year-old town that boasts one of Austria’s oldest historic town centres and Renaissance courtyards, which today accommodates modern boutiques, stylish bars, and beautiful beer gardens. Explore the famous landmark of the city, the Lindwurm monument, which was begun by Ulrich Vogelsang in 1582 and was completed by his brother Andreas Vogelsang in 1590. The city has been awarded the prestigious award of “Europa Nostra Diploma of Merit” thrice, which is a record itself for a European city. Learn how the legendary Lindwurm, a nordic snakelike dragon that supposedly lived near the city, was defeated but survived to this day in the coat-of-arms of the city.
