Some of Europe's most beautiful scenery sits right between Slovenia and Austria — and there's no more relaxed way to see it than from the back of a comfortable private car. From Ljubljana, a short drive takes you across the Alps into Carinthia, on to Graz and Vienna, and all the way to Tyrol. This guide covers the key Austrian destinations, distances and travel times, and how to make the trip effortless with a private door-to-door transfer.

Just over an hour from Ljubljana, Villach is where the landscape shifts from Slovenian green to Austrian alpine. A meeting point of Slavic, Roman and German cultures, known for its charming old town and the Kärnten Therme thermal springs.
On the eastern shore of Lake Wörthersee, Klagenfurt charms with Renaissance buildings and an almost Mediterranean feel. Don't miss the Lindwurm dragon statue or Minimundus, a park of miniature world landmarks.
Austria's second-largest city blends a UNESCO-listed old town with bold modern design. Climb the Schlossberg for panoramic views, or visit the Kunsthaus Graz — the "Friendly Alien."
Austria's grand capital is rich in history and culture, from the Habsburgs' Schönbrunn Palace to the Gothic St. Stephen's Cathedral. Art lovers can lose a day in the MuseumsQuartier.
Framed by snow-capped mountains, Innsbruck pairs a medieval old town (and its famous Golden Roof) with striking modern landmarks like Zaha Hadid's Bergisel Ski Jump. Ride the Nordkettenbahnen funicular for breathtaking Alpine views.
