Those interested in history can explore the 800 years of history of Klagenfurt on a walk through the old town. The 17th century Stadtpfarrturm (parish church tower), for example, has a stunning observation platform.
Another insider’s tip: The “Nostalgiefahrten” (nostalgia rides) in summer are a unique possibility to experience the provincial capital from an unusual perspective.
Neuer Platz
The square „Neuer Platz“ directly in front of the city hall, is the actual centre of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. In 2008 the square was reshaped by the famous architect Boris Podrecca and was transformed to a modern “city square”. In the middle of it dwells the Lindwurm, the symbol of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. The architect Boris Podrecca is a specialist concerning square-architecture; also squares in Venice, Piran, Cormons etc. are carrying his trademark.
