Before you conclude your road trip in Austria, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Klagenfurt.

If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Das Katzencafé - Cat’n’Coffee, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Klagenfurt. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Austria!
