Villach Christmas Market

Villach (Villaco) is located in southern Austria near the border with Slovenia and Italy, the city rises along the Drava river at about 500 meters above sea level. An important mercantile center in the Middle Ages, it lost its importance in the 17th century with the forced emigration of its Protestant population. Villach still has a beautiful old town today which has its center at the Hauptplatz.
