Graz is the second biggest town of Austria and has a lot to offer: the picturesque old town (an UNESCO world cultural heritage site) or the Schlossberg (castle hill) in the heart of the city invite you for a stroll and to enjoy the extraordinary flair. Spiced with some contemporary architecture like the Kunsthaus or the Murinsel it is for sure worth a visit.
