About this experience
Austrian Graz is a city that virtuously combines the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, Italian XVI century architecture, northern color, and the most modern cultural trends. During a walk through the Old Town center, you will understand why Graz was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list, discover where to taste the local cuisine, and be amazed by the many secrets and legends that the majestic palaces and quiet streets of the city hold.
What to expect
- You will stroll through the magnificent 'city crown of Graz', which includes the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Giles, the Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II, the medieval castle – former Habsburg residence, the dramatic theater, and the city's oldest university.
- Visit the cozy Bell Tower Square, and also find out where Graz's 'Bermuda Triangle' is located, and why tourists wouldn't mind getting lost there.
- Learn about Graz's history and its architectural features, walk through charming inner courtyards and streets of the old town.
- See Graz's modern cultural facilities built in 2003 when the city was chosen as the European Capital of Culture. This includes an artificial island on the Mur river connecting two riverbanks, as well as the new exhibition hall Kunsthaus designed in a blob style, incredibly contrasting with the surrounding buildings.
- Enjoy a magnificent view of the city from Schlossberg hill. You can climb here by funicular, elevator, or on foot via the 'Russian Steps' carved into the rock.
