[[Klagenfurt Airport]] is a primary [[international airport]] with connections to several major European cities and holiday resorts abroad.

The [[Klagenfurt Hauptbahnhof|Klagenfurt central station]] ({{langx|de|Hauptbahnhof}}) is located south of the city centre.

The city is situated at the intersection of the A2 and S37 motorways. The A2 autobahn runs from [[Vienna]] via [[Graz]] and Klagenfurt to [[Villach]] and further to the state border of Italy. The S37 freeway runs from Vienna via [[Bruck an der Mur]] and [[Sankt Veit an der Glan]] to Klagenfurt. The [[Loiblpass|Loibl Pass]] highway B91 goes to [[Ljubljana]], the capital of [[Slovenia]], which is only {{convert|88|km|mi|abbr=on}} from Klagenfurt.

The volume of traffic in Klagenfurt is high (motorisation level: 572 cars/1000 inhabitants in 2007).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.statistik.gv.at/web_de/presse/030430 |title=Statistik Austria |access-date=19 October 2008 |archive-date=20 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220075446/http://www.statistik.gv.at/web_de/presse/030430 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Service on [[Trams in Klagenfurt|the city's streetcar (tram) system]], as well as its [[trolleybus]] system, ended in April 1963.<ref name="ModernTramway">{{cite magazine |editor-last=Wyse|editor-first=W.J. |title=Overseas News |magazine=[[Tramways & Urban Transit|Modern Tramway and Light Railway Review]] |publisher=[[Ian Allan Publishing]] |location=London |date=August 1964 |page=289 }}</ref> In the 1960s, Klagenfurt was meant to become a car-friendly city, with many wide roads. A motorway was even planned which was to cross the city partly underground, but which now by-passes the city to the north. The problem of four railway lines from north, west, south, and east meeting at the central station south of the city centre and strangulating city traffic has been eased by a considerable number of underpasses on the main arteries. Nevertheless, despite 28 [[bus|bus lines]], [[traffic congestion|traffic jams]] are frequent nowadays as in most cities of similar size. Ideas of a rapid [[transport network|transport system]] using the existing railway rails, of an elevated [[cable railway]] to the football stadium, or of a regular motorboat service on the Lend Canal from the city centre to the lake have not materialized. But for those who fancy leisurely travel there is a regular motorboat and steamer service on the lake connecting the resorts on Wörthersee. During severe winters, which no longer occur regularly, it might be faster to cross the frozen lake on skates.
