General presentation
Graz and Styria
UNESCO city with a student atmosphere, between Schlossberg, contemporary architecture, palaces, wine hills and roads of Styria.
Schlossberg, Old Town of Graz and Kunsthaus give the most telling landmarks of Graz and Styria. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: heat possible in summer and destination more discreet than Vienna. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Panorama
Schlossberg
The Schlossberg dominates Graz by its stairs, paths and clock tower. It gives a clear view of the red roofs, the Wall and the structure of the old center.
Town or village
Old town of Graz
The old town of Graz mixes streets, courtyards, squares and Renaissance buildings in a less solemn atmosphere than Vienna. She discovers herself well on foot, letting the interior passages guide the course.
Palace
Château d'Eggenberg
The castle of Eggenberg shows another side of Graz, more aristocratic and laid, away from the old center. The decorated rooms, the gallery and the park with its peacocks make a slow visit, useful when you want to get out of the medieval alleys without leaving the history of Styria.
