Chronicles of Graz
Graz, the capital of the Austrian state of Styria, was founded in the 1st century AD by the Romans, who named it 'Lentia'. Over the centuries, the city has evolved from a medieval trading hub to a Baroque centre, with many of its historic buildings and landmarks still standing today. Graz's unique blend of medieval and modern architecture is reflected in its cultural identity, which is as eclectic as it is vibrant. The city is often overlooked by tourists flocking to more popular Austrian destinations, but its understated charm and rich history make it a hidden treasure. Graz was even designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.

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.
