View of the Drava River in Villach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Whether you're looking for a city break, a cultural holiday, or a shopping vacation, an active bike ride (Drau Cycle Path!), or a nature holiday in the mountains or at one of the lakes surrounding Villach, the town on the Drau River has it all.

Various excursion destinations, such as Landskron Castle with its Eagle Arena and Monkey Mountain, are included! Exciting events and cultural highlights also shape the year: from Villach Carnival and Austria's largest traditional event, the Villach Kirchtag, to culinary traditions and hut traditions.

For those seeking a relaxing stay full of recreation, Warmbad Villach is the place to be. Here you'll find the Kärnten Therme adventure world, the Thermal Urquellenbad (Thermal Spring Bath), a first-class hotel, and spa and therapy centers. In Warmbad, guests also experience a unique natural spectacle: the "Maibachl," a thermal spring in the middle of the forest, which bubbles mainly, but not exclusively, during snowmelt.

Main Square, Villach

Highlight • Settlement

Since the middle of the 12th century, the main square has been the city's lifeline; Fairs and markets were held here. The Second World War left visible traces, as a number of post-war buildings close the gaps left by the bombs between the historic facades. In 1988 the decision was made to declare the square a pedestrian zone.

Drau Bridge, Villach

Highlight • Bridge

The first documented mention of a “Pons Uillah” dates back to 878 - which means Villach can claim the title of the oldest bridge in Carinthia! The bridge toll, which was collected by the State Princely Toll Station based in Hauptplatz No. 1, brought the city good income until 1903.
