A harmonious blend of historic elegance and modern flair, Graz is Austria’s second-largest city — and one of its most captivating secrets. With a beautifully preserved UNESCO-listed Old Town, cutting-edge architecture, and a youthful, creative spirit, Graz offers an experience that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly contemporary.
Wander through cobbled streets beneath the red roofs of the Altstadt, where Renaissance courtyards and Baroque palaces sit alongside bustling markets and indie cafés. Don’t miss the striking Schlossberg hill, topped with the iconic Clock Tower, offering sweeping views of the city’s rooftops and the Mur River.
Art and design flourish here. From the futuristic Kunsthaus Graz (the “Friendly Alien”) to the Murinsel, a floating steel island café, Graz proves it’s not afraid to mix old with new. As a vibrant university city, it also pulses with youthful energy, diverse cuisine, and lively festivals year-round.
Whether you’re a history lover, architecture fan, or curious wanderer, Graz is a stylish, welcoming city that surprises at every turn — a true Austrian gem waiting to be explored.
