Pörtschach
Midway along the idyllic Wörther See is Pörtschach, known as the Hamptons of Austria because of its posh, relaxed elegance. You'll find dozens of places to stay and even more things to do under the stars. In the summer, the nightlife here is as varied as the daytime activities. Elegant villas and lakeside promenades line the peninsula, which is abloom with flowers and verdant foliage during the summer months.
