Graz

Graz, Austria's second-largest city, centers on the Altstadt (Old Town), where Renaissance and Baroque architecture lines the Hauptplatz and surrounding streets like Sackstrasse and Sporgasse. The Schlossberg, a 123-meter hill crowned by the Uhrturm (Clock Tower), dominates the skyline and offers panoramic views; visitors reach it via funicular railway or hiking paths through forested terrain. The Kunsthofpassage and Murinsel (an artificial island in the Mur River designed by New York artist Vito Acconci) represent Graz's contemporary art scene, while the Eggenberg Palace, a 17th-century Baroque residence on the city's outskirts, showcases period rooms and extensive gardens. The Mur River itself is lined with cafés and cultural venues, making the waterfront a focal point for both locals and visitors. Graz's compact size makes it walkable, with most major attractions within 20–30 minutes on foot from the Hauptplatz.
