The historic city of Klagenfurt lights up during Christmas with two standout markets at Neuer Platz and Domplatz. These traditional Austrian markets feature over 50 vendors selling local crafts and seasonal treats.
I especially love the 1.5-hour guided market tour for its efficient coverage of both locations and insider tips about regional traditions. The 2-hour Magical Christmas Tour is another gem, offering a deeper look at Austrian holiday customs while sampling Glühwein (mulled wine) and seasonal specialties.
The city’s famous Lindwurm dragon statue makes for great holiday photos when decorated with festive lights.
