Sightseeing in the region of Graz
From city to the countryside in less than ten minutes – and vice versa. Both is easy in the region of Graz. And both is utterly enjoyable!
Countryside hikes or city strolls, cycling or swimming, museums or mountain huts: There’s plenty to see and do in the region of Graz. One thing should definitely be on your holiday list though: a visit to Graz, the provincial capital of Styria.
However, there’s also many things that Graz is not. It’s not a big metropolis. It’s no hectic urban jungle. Despite its considerable size, the city is still a relaxed place. People ride the tram or their bike and have lunch at one of the many pavement cafés. Many locals still live in the city centre, and there’s a buzzing cultural scene with numerous events.
Theatre and opera, jazz and cabaret, Styrian and international cuisine: It’s not only tourists who appreciate the great diversity of the city by the Mur. If you’d like to get an idea of what’s on offer, have a look at the top sights of Graz.
