Graz is a charming city in the Austrian state of Styria, the second largest in Austria.

Graz combines a serene provincial atmosphere and the cultural life of a university city, where every corner keeps its stories and visual experiences.

Be sure to see the Dome Cathedral, the city church and decorative fountains, look at museums and stage sites. Among the iconic places are the Clock Tower on Mount Schlossberg and the Schlossberg Fortress, the Graz Castle and the magnificent Eggenberg Palace, and the Rigersburg Castle is attracted outside the city at 55 kilometers. For lovers of contemporary art, the Austrian Sculpture Park and small fountain compositions like the fountain on Wiednerplatzchen are of interest.
