Hillresorts am Schlosspark

In the southern part of Austria, marked by a Mediterranean climate, numerous green oases and above-average hours of sunshine, lies the Styrian capital Graz. Graz not only captivates with its Mediterranean joie de vivre, but above all with its mix of baroque buildings and future-oriented modern architecture and attracts a large international audience. The diverse cultural and educational opportunities as well as the proximity to the South Styrian wine country make Graz a city that is particularly worth living in. In 1999 the Inner City of Graz was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its buildings worthy of protection. The Inner City contains a historic old town centre with the Schlossberg and the city park, bordered by the river Mur. In the inner city you will find numerous shopping centres, street markets, galleries, museums, pubs and restaurants. In terms of transport, all important sights can be reached within a very short time by the excellent Graz tram network as well as by bicycle and on foot. As a university city with over 60,000 students, Graz is considered the fastest growing Austrian conurbation of the last ten years.

Historically, the Grazer Feld was a densely populated agricultural landscape during the Roman Empire. The name "Graz" is derived from the term "castle", which was built there in the 6th century. From the 13th - 16th century, Graz was a Habsburg royal seat. In 2003 Graz became the cultural capital of Europe, which is still distinguished by its rich cultural offerings.
