Whether you ’re cooling off at the outdoor pool on hot days, strolling through the picturesque alleys of the Old Town, or visiting the museum at historic Bruck Castle, you’re guaranteed never to get bored in the “Sun City” of Lienz. The city captivates visitors with its Mediterranean flair and a very special charm, which you can experience, for example, over coffee and cake at theMocafècoffeehouse or at the Grandhotel Lienz along the Isel Promenade.
And even though—or perhaps precisely because—Lienz is a small town, there’s plenty to discover: Learn about its history and the old buildings on a guided tour, and watch the bustling activity on the main square when the sun draws vacationers and locals outside. Festivals and events are still very much a part of life here, whether it’s the Olala street festival, which attracts numerous visitors each year and brings the excitement right to the people, or the Dolomitenmann, where top-class athletes compete and deliver thrilling showdowns for fans. It becomes especially idyllic when live bands set the mood on Lienz’s main square on balmy summer nights . Shopping enthusiastswill also find what they’re looking for in the small boutiques and regional shops. Here, personalized customer service and a sense of community are still the top priorities. On hot days, Lake Tristachoffers the perfect opportunity to cool off in its blue-green waters or take a stroll along the circular path, flanked by towering firs and deciduous trees. It’s no wonder the lake has become a popular destination for locals and vacationers alike. Thanks to its good infrastructure, this natural gem is easy to reach and offers a welcome respite from the heat in the summer.
