But not only the inner city of Graz inspires its visitors year after year. Just a few minutes' walk from the heart of the city is the beautiful Schlossberg.

With the Murinsel, Graz also secured the title of UNESCO City of Design. Because whether on a platform or bridge, the modern construction not only impresses with its creative architecture, but has also developed over the years into an urban hotspot for the creative scene. And so you can be sure that there is always something to discover here.
Nevertheless, Graz has much more to offer than just the Schlossberg and the Murinsel. Explore the city from Grieskai to Idlhofgasse. Visit the historic clock tower, which was built in the 16th century and forget the time for a moment. That shouldn't be a problem here, because if you look closely, you'll discover that the minute and hour hands on the Graz clock tower are reversed. Or dare to climb the 216 steps to the fantastic Mariatrost Basilica on the Purberg on the outskirts of the city. Not only the elegant baroque facade and the beautiful twin towers, but also the unique frescoes in the nave and the breathtaking altar are worth the effort of the ascent.
And the mausoleum of Ferdinand II also invites you to discover it. As one of the most important sights in Graz, the impressive architecture and the touch of history are convincing here. Find out more about this eventful time in Austria and the imperial family and let the filigree stucco work and frescoes of the historic building work their magic on you.
Last but not least, a visit to the Graz Kunsthaus should not be missed during your stay. This unique building is not only one of the top sights in the city, but also one of the most controversial buildings.

And the regularly changing art exhibitions in the so-called Spacelab will also fascinate art enthusiasts.
