Graz

Graz

Graz is located at the southern foot of the Alps and serves as the capital of Styria, a key city in Central Europe and the second-largest city in Austria. The city surrounds Schlossberg Hill, and its name comes from the Slovenian word “grad,” meaning “small castle.”

Graz is an ideal leisure destination thanks to its exceptional southern resources and pleasant climate. Its medieval and Baroque architecture, combined with the modern vibrancy of its streets, adds a uniquely charming flair to the city. Most notably, Graz’s Historic Centre and Eggenberg Palace are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Historic Centre is characterized by numerous 17th- and 18th-century hillside houses, some of which still display exquisite stucco decorations. Eggenberg Palace is exceptionally well-preserved, with its architectural style and interior decor reflecting influences from the late Italian Renaissance and the Baroque period.

Visitors to this picturesque city can explore attractions such as Schlossberg Hill, the Graz Museum of Modern Art, the Graz Tramway Museum, the Graz Opera House, the Armory, and Eggenberg Palace.
