My daughter is attending the Bodypainting festival at Seeboden in July. Does anyone know if there is a bus or train going to Seeboden from Klagenfurt.

She wants to avoid an expensive taxi fare.

I will be travelling from Bled and spending approximately 4-6 hours in Klagenfurt, before I begin my trip home to canada.

1.Because my time is short, can someone give me the highlights of what to see and do? I wanted to go on the old town walking tour but unfortunately cant arrive in time by train to do that.

2. Would it be worth my while to rent a car for the day, as the train connections arent that great or wo uld that be more hassle?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I will be spending a few days in bled, slovenia. On my last day I would like to take a day trip to klagenfurt and return to bled late afternoon or early evening.

1. Is this feasible. Is it worth the time?

2. Bus/train connections to and from?

Thank you.

I have a very close connection on a train from Vienna to Ljubljana and if I miss the connection I may have to take the bus. My train connection is 13 minutes only. Could you please give me a web site or other information on bus service on this route. Thank you.

Hello to all travel friends!
My wife and I will be traveling to Kaernten by car and thinking of establishing a base in Klagenfurt in June and July. I would like to find a small appartment to rent. Do you have any experience, knowledge of a web site , that could get me started. The Travel buro sites don't seem to be too helpful with extended stays. Thanks for your input.

My daughter will be studying at the University of Klagenfurt and my husband and I will be traveling to Klagenfurt with her at the end of January. The tourism office recommended Pension Zlami-Holzer. Can anyone tell me anything about this place or could you recommend others? We will be traveling into Klagenfurt by train and do not plan on renting a car, as we have heard that public transportation is very good there. Any help would be appreciated. We will be arriving on 27 January.

Thanks! Jan

Hi. if you want, you are invitet to the report about our language trip to USA, Canada and Mexico

When?

I try again, even if I have realized that this forum is not very crowded.

I will probably attempt a German cours at Klagenfurt University in August.

Is Klagenfurt empty during summer or is there some people ?

I will be in Klagenfurt with my brother and another friend of us for two nights on 10th and 11th November.

Is there someone available for drinking a couple of beers together ?

Can you advise about some place to go ?

I have already been to several pubs and bars near Pfarrplatz, and I will go there again for sure, but I am also looking for something new.

Hi,

Planning to visit Klagenfurt between 9-12 Dec.

Really want to visit the christmas market and ideally - as snow is rarely seen nowadays in my part of the UK - would like to see some snow.

My question is - Is it likely to snow during my stay in the city? I know it can't be guaranteed but I've seen several websites that say its incredibly common to snow during december there.

I'm also interested in any excursions or trips to neighboring towns/cities/regions whilst still keeping a base in Klagenfurt. Is this possible? Are there regular bus/train services to places of interest? If there are - are these reasonably priced?

Sorry to ask so many questions, its just that whilst the tourist write-ups are plentiful, most do not focus on anything that falls outside the city itself (and snow is mentioned a lot and yet the forcast for the next week is rain!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated
