*For many, Christmas time is the loveliest time of the year. Why not, for once, enjoy the peaceful weeks before Christmas in Villach’s beautiful old town together with the whole family and let your soul unwind for a few days? At Christmas time the Villacher Advent has plenty to offer young and old alike.*

**Christmas time in Villach**

In winter Villach shines in a glittering sea of light made up of Christmas illuminations and sparkling fairy lights. In front of the illuminated town hall stretches a generous ice rink with free skate hire for children. In the meantime parents can warm their hands with a tasty punch or mulled wine, or sit down over a comfortable cup of coffee in one of the neighbouring coffee houses. Afterwards a leisurely walk through the imaginative Winter Wunder Wald in Villach’s park is just the thing.

Advent huts in Christmas decoration stretch across the whole of the historic Hauptplatz, leaving no shopping wish unfulfilled. Whether it is fluffy woollen hats, handmade Christmas tree decorations, high-quality nativity figures or culinary delights, everyone who wants to bring joy to their loved ones will certainly find something here.
