Which bus lines run in Klagenfurt?
Klagenfurt city buses carry letters and numbers. The three lettered lines are the busiest: A (FH Kärnten – Annabichl), B (Viktring – Welzenegg) and C (Hauptbahnhof – Klagenfurt West). Each has close to 200 departures on a weekday in our data and runs every 10 to 15 minutes, from before 05:00 until about midnight.
Lines 1 to 8 cover the rest of the city, typically every 20 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, with the first buses around 05:00 and the last ones close to midnight. On Sundays these lines still run until about midnight, but with roughly half as many departures.
Almost everything meets at Heiligengeistplatz in the centre, which is served by 13 lines in our data, and at Klagenfurt Hauptbahnhof (12 lines). Change at one of these two stops and you can reach nearly any part of the city.
How do I get to the Wörthersee and the university?
Line 20 runs every day between Heiligengeistplatz and Strandbad, the lido on the Wörthersee, and the ride takes about 13 minutes. Line 10 links the same two stops on Saturdays and Sundays only. Line 4 also starts at Strandbad and crosses the city to Walddorf. For the university, take line 6 or 8; line 8 runs from Heiligengeistplatz to Universität in about half an hour.
Some lines run on weekdays only and just a few times a day, for example 9, 62, 63, 64 and 66, so check the timetable before you rely on them. All lines are in the Klagenfurt timetables, and every stop is on the Klagenfurt stops page.
Which bus lines run in Villach?
In Villach nearly every line starts or calls at Villach Hauptbahnhof: 24 of the 28 lines in our data stop there. The main city lines are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. They run every 30 minutes on weekdays, from shortly after 05:00 until about 21:45. Lines 5A, 5B and 5C all link the station with Tiroler Straße/VEZ by different routes, about once an hour each.
Service in Villach is thinner at weekends. On Saturdays the last city buses leave between about 19:15 and 20:45, and on Sundays most lines run only between about 07:30 and 19:00. Neither city has night lines in our data, so plan the trip home in advance.
A few lines leave the city: 320 goes up to Villacher Alpe Rosstratte, 331 runs to Velden am Wörthersee and 40 to Ossiach. See them all in the Villach timetables or on the Villach network map.
