A warm, Mediterranean-style flair predominates in the magical Old Town of Lienz:
Flowers and palms fringe the expansive main square, with the colorful facades of its many sidewalk cafés and small shops.
This sunny town (over 2,000 hours of sunlight annually) only tallies some 13,000 residents, yet you can still find essentially everything your heart desires.
One highlight of antiquity is located very close to Lienz: the site where the Ancient Roman city of Aguntum was excavated – the only Roman city in Tyrol. A newly constructed museum gives astonishing insights into the everyday life of Roman civilization.
