The Styrian capital Graz is the second largest city in Austria and has been Austria's capital of pleasure and culture for years.
As soon as you explore the old town, you soon realize that the regional culture blends with the character of the south and is not called the northernmost city in the south for nothing, with more than 2,100 hours of sunshine a year. The Murinsel with its futuristic architecture and the Kunsthaus ideally complement the historic UNESCO-protected old town and create the perfect mix of culture for every taste, where authentic Styrian restaurants meet modern international cuisine. Graz's Schloßberg impresses as the center of the city, from where you have a beautiful view of the city and surrounding mountains all day long and find adventurous attractions both "on" and "in" the mountain.
For shopping enthusiasts, the inner city with its many small alleyways offers a labyrinth of regional and internationally renowned stores, as well as the large shopping centers on the outskirts of the city. The many squares, markets and spacious green areas also offer numerous leisure activities for young and old.
