One of Graz’s most recognisable features and standing proudly in the centre of the city, the Schlossberg is a tree-covered hill that once served as a fortress and has now been converted into a public park. The history of the Schlossberg goes back to the 10th century and has been a main point of fortification and defence for the city. All that remai...
Standing on the fabled Schlossberg Hill and being easily visible from many places in Graz, the Clock Tower has stood stoically for hundreds of years and has become a symbol of Graz and its history. The tower has a striking design with its bright white walls, large overhanging wooden balcony section and tiled pointed roof which date back to the 15th...

This remarkable piece of Neogothic architecture sticks out like a sore thumb (In a good way though!). Located a little to the east of Graz city centre this relatively new church is very accessible and should be high up on your list of things to see.

Leading up to the Basilica is a set of 200 steps that are framed by intermittent statues of angels and historical figures. The outside of th...
This museum stands out starkly against the oranges of the tiled roof buildings that surrounded in and characterise most of Graz’s old town. With a bizarre blue shell-like roof canopy, the Kunsthaus is affectionately known as the friendly alien and you can easily see why when you see this intriguing structure up close. Not only does the Kunsthaus bo...
Supposedly one of the most beautiful Mausoleums of its kind in Europe, there are not many that can match the size and scale of Ferdinand II’s Mausoleum. Ferdinand served as the Holy Roman Emperor from 1619 to 1637 and was greatly involved in the destructive thirty years war. His Mausoleum lies as a testament to his power and features extremely deca...
Right in the centre of Graz old town, the Rathaus has served as the town hall for hundreds of years and has undergone several changes in design, from renaissance to the current neoclassical building that stands today. The impressive town hall has a beautiful façade reminiscent of the Budapest parliament building with similar white columns and crenu...

Inside these magical greenhouses are plants, exotic flora, cacti and other natural elements that are separated into four different climate zones. S...
