Villach is a charming city in southern Austria, nestled between the Alps and the Drau Valley. As Carinthia's third-largest city, Villach combines historic charm with a modern lifestyle and is considered a key transportation hub in the region.

History-steeped in history, Villach presents itself with a mix of Gothic and Baroque buildings, cozy squares, and a lively pedestrian zone. The city center is dominated by the Church of the Holy Spirit and the medieval town square, around which cafés, boutiques, and small markets are located. The nearby thermal and natural treasures of the Drau Valley invite you to relaxing excursions.

Villach's location at the intersection of several transportation routes makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Carinthia and beyond. Only a few kilometers separate Villach from the picturesque lakes of the Drau Valley – such as Lake Faak and Lake Ossiach – which invite you to enjoy water sports and water sports in the summer.

Villach is an important entry point for the Alpe-Adria Cycle Route, which runs from the Alps through Carinthia to Italy. Cyclists use the well-developed routes through the Drau Valley, often along former railway lines, to enjoy the Alpine landscape in a relaxed manner. This connection makes Villach a popular stopover for travelers seeking to combine nature, culture, and active recreation.
