Welcome to Graz, Austria’s best-kept secret where tradition meets modernity in the most vibrant way. Nestled in the heart of Styria, Graz is a city that invites you to wander its cobblestone streets, revel in its rich history, and savor its culinary delights. Whether you're an art lover, a history buff, or a foodie, Graz offers a unique tapestry of experiences to explore.
Start your journey in the enchanting Altstadt , a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where every turn reveals Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture that whisper tales of yesteryear. Don’t miss the iconic Schlossberg , a hilltop fortress that promises panoramic views of the city and is home to the famous clock tower, Uhrturm . The climb might get your heart racing, but the reward is a breathtaking vista that’s worth every step.
Art and culture enthusiasts will find their haven at the Kunsthaus Graz , affectionately known as the "Friendly Alien" due to its quirky, biomorphic shape. This contemporary art museum challenges the conventional and inspires creativity with its rotating exhibits. Meanwhile, the Landeszeughaus is a must-visit for history buffs, being the world's largest historic armory, with over 32,000 exhibits that narrate Austria's military past.
Stroll through the pulsating district of Lend , Graz’s hipster quarter that brims with trendy cafés, artisanal shops, and buzzing bars. This neighborhood is where tradition meets innovation, and is ideal for afternoon meandering or evening soirees. Don’t forget to stop by Lendplatz Farmer’s Market to indulge in fresh regional produce and mingle with the locals.
No visit to Graz is complete without indulging in its culinary scene. Treat your taste buds to Käferbohnen (scarlet runner beans) paired with pumpkin seed oil, a Styrian specialty, or enjoy a luxurious slice of Zotter chocolate, crafted just outside the city. For a more substantial meal, dive into a Styrian Backhendl , a crispy fried chicken dish that locals swear by.
Graz is more than just a city; it's a lifestyle. It’s where history and modernity dance together, creating a unique rhythm that captivates every visitor. So put on your walking shoes and get ready to explore a city that's equally as charming as it is surprising.
