Hi
Please can you tell me the times of trains from Klagenfurt to Villach, how long it would take and how much it would cost. I am flying from London to Frankfurt and then on to Klagenfurt but my flight does not arrive until 18.00. Are the trains frequent. If not, could you tell me roughly how much a taxi would cost from Klagenfurt to Villach. Many thanks Jude

Does anybody know how long it will take to drive from Klagenfurt airport to Ljubljana? Are there any taxes, special permits, etc that you need to pay for? (I'm a non-EU citizen.) Also, is it possible to pick up a car from Klagenfurt and then drop it off at Ljubljana airport?

Thank you!

Hi,

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.

all help much appreciated.

Is there a place to store luggage at the Villach hbf for 4 hours during a layover? Luggage would consist of two wheeled carry-on bags for airlines.

Second question: any good recommendations for local food, good tasty beer and places to visit during these few hours?

Thanks in advace!

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.

Hello,
My husband and I are planning to work in Villach (we come from Asia). How much will it cost us to live in Villach if we have 3 kids (9-year old, 4-year old and 4 months old). Can anyone give me a rough estimate of our probable monthly expenses? We will need a place to stay that can accommodate us all and the kids will have to go to school, too.
Any help you can extend to us with regard to this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,
Elaine

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.

I am travelling between Vienna and Ljubljana by train and I have a very short connection time to change trains at Villach--13 minutes only. Can this connection be made in so short a time? What is the usual distance between connecting trains? We arrive on train #539 at 7:44 PM and then are to connect to #315 departing at 7:57. If we miss this train we have to look at perhaps taking a bus from Villach. Can you provide me a web site that could advise the bus schedules for that route. Your help very much appreciated.

Hi,
Going for a whole new experience this Christmas, skiing in Kransjgora Slovenia (cant spell it) . Have booked flights to Salzburg and was hoping to take the train via Villach. However can only find trains running up unitl 9th December , I need 23rd December. Anyone know if they run or best route or where to find out? Alternatively, if we hire a car from Salzburg or Villach - how are the roads that time of year?
Many thanks to those who have a reply. Sue

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

Flying to Klagenfurt in October on route to Slovenia to see the SCotland football team play. Is a Night in Klangenfurt worthwhile? We will be looking for some good pubs and clubs. We will be wearing our kilts, what sort of reaction will we get? Are the locals used to men in skirts?
Any reply would be appreciated, i really no nothing about the town.

Hi!
Can someone advise on the best way to get to Trieste from Villach? We would be dropping our rental car in Villach and picking one up in Italy. Better suggestions welcome. Our ultimate goal is Rome but the drop off cost (from p/u in Frankfurt to drop off in Rome) was an extra 1300 Euros. Car rental agency gave much better prices for leaving car in Austria or Switzerland and then renting again in Italy. Lugano d/o is also an idea.

Thanks,
Hope weather in your area is better than in Canada this spring.

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

When?
Friday, 3rd June, 20:00

Where?
BG/BRG Mössingerstraße, in der Aula

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 ?

Would someone describe the opportunities for a short hike near the highest road elevation of this beautiful road, and the chances of getting a sandwich and beer
nearby? Thanks!

I'm planning a bicycle trip through Norway and Sweden, ferry to Rostock and then to Salzburg and south to Italy or Slovenia in the last days of April or beginning of May. My plan is to bike to Radstadt and take the Tauernpass and Katschberg. Are this passes open all the year? Later I will go to Villach and over Wurzenpass to Podkoren in Slovenia. Is it better to bike west to Tarvisio in Italy? Are other routes preferable for a biker?
