You can also find all yoga accommodation partners under partner accommodation. If you still want to stay somewhere else, the quickest way to find our availability in the whole region is under"Sleeping" at www.woerthersee.com-Website.

Most of the accommodations will have parking spaces available for you. And Pörtschach is not that big - everything can be reached on foot. Nevertheless, there is a large parking lot near the locations. At the Congress Center you can park at the free parking lot on Kärntner Straße. And there is also a public parking lot near the Promenadenbad.

Can I pay with an ATM at the festival site? If not - is there one nearby?

No - unfortunately not in principle. However, it is possible that one or two of the yoga bazaar vendors will offer an ATM function. However, I wouldn't assume this and would rather take some cash with me. You will find the nearest ATM diagonally opposite the Congress Center.
