Top Attractions in Graz
💡 The Stadtpark Café does a decent €3.50 Apfelstrudel. Avoid the pond edge – duck aggressive if you have bread. The rose garden near the west gate is quieter.
💡 Walk up from Schlossbergplatz. The café at the top does reasonable coffee with a view for €3.50, not the overpriced one by the lift exit.
💡 Cross it at dusk when the lights turn on. The café is expensive (€4 for a small beer) – better to bring a drink and sit on the bench end.
💡 Go on a Sunday morning – quietest. Wear flat shoes, the metal stairs are worn. Audioguide is worth €2 extra for the stories behind the pikes.
💡 Don't pay for the exhibitions (usually €12) unless you love contemporary art. The real attraction is the building itself. Stand under the nozzle on the east side – it drips water in summer.
