Klagenfurt is the capital city of the Carinthia region in southern Austria. It’s been a town since the late 12th century and is the sixth largest in the country, featuring multiple places of interest for visiting tourists.
The Minimundus is an unusual park filled with miniature buildings, representing major landmarks around the world. You can see scale models of the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Taj Mahal, the Sydney Opera House and the CN Tower to name a few. There is an admission fee, and the park is closed during the winter months.
Reptilienzoo Happ
Not far from Minimundus is a small zoo with a large collection of reptiles as well as other interesting animals, named the Reptilienzoo Happ. Closed during November, the zoo is otherwise open daily from 8am until 6pm (winter months open at 10am).
Hochosterwitz Castle
One of several castles in the area, the Hochosterwitz Castle is the most impressive medieval castle in Austria. Considering it is more than 1,000 years old, the compound is in excellent shape. There are tours given to the public between Easter and October. The castle is a short train ride away near the town of Sankt Veit an der Glan.
Lindworm Fountain
The large statue and fountain in the middle of Klagenfurt was built at the end of the 1500s, and it’s shaped like a dragon that plays a role in the legendary origins on the city. It's the main landmark for the town, so visitors usually visit for a photo or two.
Kreuzbergl
Kreuzbergl is a small local mountain where you can find parks, ponds, walking trails and a number of other sights. At the top is an old observation tower where you can see some wonderful views, and the telescope gives more views of the sky at night. There are several old houses and churches in the area too. It's a great area to see for some quiet time outdoors.
Kaerntner Heimatwerk
A craft market that sells local goods, Kaertner Heimatwerk is very popular with souvenir shoppers. The market is open every day but Sunday, and they do close for a couple hours over the lunch break during the week. You can find the market at Herrengasse 2.
Karntner Landesmuseum
Klagenfurt is home to the largest museum in the country, filled with historical exhibits on the region as well as natural history, geology, archaeology and artwork.
