A Walk Through Villach's Old Town

A Stroll Through History

Join certified Austria Guides on an exciting journey through time in Villach’s Old Town. Guided tour of Villach’s historic Old Town featuring fascinating stories about the city’s past, present, and architecture.

With over 65,000 residents, Villach is the second-largest city in Carinthia, the seventh-largest in Austria, and is located at the tri-border region of Austria, Italy, and Slovenia. This metropolis on the Drau River is lively, dynamic, and modern, yet it has a long history. The city of Villach owes its founding to its convenient transportation hub and river crossing: Even the Romans were enthusiastic about it—and, incidentally, they already greatly appreciated the healing springs of Warmbad.

Today, Villach is a thriving and modern city known for its shopping, high-tech industry, culture, and sports, offering unbeatable recreational opportunities and a charming southern ambiance.

The numerous street cafés—but above all, the many different dialects spoken by visitors from the Alps-Adriatic region—are an integral part of city life and lend it a special sense of lightheartedness. Immerse yourself in the historic city on the Drau—experience its eventful history and enjoy its urban gems!

Guided city tours take place every Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. and every Friday at 10:00 a.m.
