Your experience
Stop 1
Carinthia's second-highest church tower soars almost 92 metres above the old town, its baroque onion dome crowning the parish church of St. Egid. A spiral climb of 225 steps rewards you with a 360-degree panorama from the Woerthersee to the Karawanken.
Stop 2
A stately Renaissance palace crowned by twin onion-domed towers, built by Carinthia's nobility as their seat of power. Behind its calm facade hides the Wappensaal, a baroque hall ablaze with 665 painted coats of arms.
Stop 3
A singing marble fountain by Carinthia's most adventurous modern artist, tucked into the leafy park beside the grand Renaissance Landhaus.
Stop 4
A snarling, six-ton stone dragon rears over Neuer Platz, the winged Lindwurm that has been Klagenfurt's proud city symbol for more than four centuries.
Stop 5
The oldest square in Klagenfurt and the medieval heart from which the whole city grew, watched over by the sunny facade of the Old Town Hall and a lofty plague column.
Stop 6
A tiny bronze man clutching a barrel beside a trickling fountain in the Kramergasse, this beloved figure is the mythical little man who, according to Carinthian legend, flooded a sinful town and created Lake Woerthersee.
Stop 7
Klagenfurt's beating culinary heart, a daily farmers market where Carinthian farmers, Italian delicatessens and Slovenian growers gather around a square of low market halls. Cheese, wine, produce and pumpkin seed oil fill the stalls with colour and chatter.
Stop 8
The white marble figure crowning the Spanheimer Fountain honours Duke Bernhard von Spanheim, the thirteenth century ruler who moved Klagenfurt to safe ground and granted it town rights. He is, quite literally, the founder of the city you are exploring.
Stop 9
A dignified pale house closing off the western end of Alter Platz, crowned by a small gilded goose. It is the oldest documented building in Klagenfurt's old town, its name and shining sign recalling the medieval roots of the city.
