CityTrip Graz

Since 2003, when Graz was the European Capital of Culture, Austria's second-largest city has been recognized as a center for art and design. Particularly impressive is the architectural ensemble of the historic old town, which has remained almost untouched. In addition, there are numerous museums and theaters, a remarkable culinary scene, excellent wines, and plenty of excursion opportunities. It's no wonder that this vibrant university city captivates visitors.

This current city guide is the ideal companion for independently exploring all aspects of the Styrian capital:

• Detailed presentations and evaluations of the city's most important sights and museums, as well as lesser-known attractions and neighborhoods.
• Fascinating architecture: Renaissance and Baroque buildings, the sea of red-tiled roofs in the old town, and the contemporary art house.
• Varied city walks.
• Suggestions for short trips.
• Excursions to Thal, Rein, Stübing, and Piber.
• Shopping tips from traditional markets to trendy boutiques.
• The best local eateries and interesting facts about Styrian cuisine.
• Tips for evening and nightlife activities: from the opera to popular student clubs.
