Not to be confused with the city of Strasburg in France, Straßburg is a small town in Austria’s southern-most state, Carinthia. Much more peaceful than its better-known namesake, Straßburg lies in the picturesque Gurk Valley surrounded by Alpine meadows and forests. Outdoor activities like hiking and biking are tourist favorites for a reason – the area is world-renowned for its natural beauty. But the historical sights of Straßburg such as the Straßburg Castle, the Pöckstein Castle, and the St. Margaretha zu Lieding Church are also well worth a visit.
Straßburg is also the perfect base for exploring Carinthia. The medieval village of Friesach is only a 15-minute drive away, and the drive to Carinthia’s capital Klagenfurt should take under 45 minutes. Many of Austria’s most beautiful lakes including the Wörthersee can be reached in under an hour. In winter, you’ll be able to enjoy the many ski resorts of the Eastern Alps without having to spend all day in the car. Check out this list of top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals in Straßburg and get ready to relax!
