The Klagenfurt beach is one of the largest seaside resorts in Europe. It is located on the eastern shore of Lake Wörthersee, directly in the city of Klagenfurt. It is therefore easy to reach. There are no pools here, but there are spacious sunbathing areas and plenty of trees right on Lake Wörthersee. The lido was opened in 1924 and has been expanded several times since then. Today it can accommodate up to 10,000 visitors a day. A highlight is 3 huge piers with plenty of space to lie down. In between there are sandy beaches, which are particularly popular with children. Those seeking peace and quiet have a view of the turquoise Wörthersee and behind it rises the Observation tower at Pyramidenkogel into the air.

For families

The Klagenfurt lido is a paradise, especially for families with children. In addition to the sandy beaches already mentioned, there are varied playgrounds, a separate water playground and a separate non-swimmer area in the WörtherseeAnyone who wants to can also take a swimming course here. Of course, a water slide It's a must-see. A timing system tracks who is fastest down the 113-meter-long slide. For those who crave even more adrenaline, there's also a 3-meter diving platform. Younger children can also enjoy trampolining, though this is available for a fee.

Those wishing to stay longer can also rent cabins, sun loungers, and parasols. Ample parking is available directly at the lido. The Klagenfurt lido is also easily accessible by bicycle or public transport.

Of course, there are a few options here, so we can recommend the Café Sunset right on the water. Culinary options include Italian or local food. There is also the Lagler lido restaurant and an ice cream shop. The infrastructure has very clean toilets and showers. We definitely recommend this bathing area!
