The capital of Carinthia sits in a broad plain, with a Renaissance heart at its core: pedestrian streets lead into arcaded courtyards, and the central square is presided over by a dragon fountain — the symbol of the city. The city centre and the lake are two distinct parts of the day: the bathing spots, Europapark, and Minimundus all lie four kilometres to the west, along the shore of Wörthersee. Benediktinerplatz makes clear why Klagenfurt calls itself Alpine-Adriatic: Carinthian farm stalls, Italian delicatessens, Slovenian wines, and fresh Adriatic fish all share the same market. To round it off, kärnten.museum places the entire region in context, from archaeology to the natural world.
Everything you need for Klagenfurt in one place
Large stuffed pasta parcels, classically filled with fresh curd cheese and mint, with an edge that is hand-crimped using a technique known as 'krendeln' — it is by this distinctive border that you can tell they were made by hand. They are served salted and drizzled with butter, as a main course. This is the dish by which Carinthian cuisine is recognised beyond Austria.
