10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Graz That You Shouldn't Miss

June 16, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

A bevy of universities give Austria's second-largest city its lively pace. Baroque palaces are a pleasant contrast with 16th-century courtyards and provocative modern buildings. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, teems with fine architecture, including the Burg castle complex, with its Gothic double staircase, and the graceful Uhrturm clock tower. A funicular takes visitors up the dramatic bluff. The River Mur dashes through the city, and thermal springs dot the surrounding countryside.

In the middle of the Altstadt yu can find this beautiful square. If you go there during the winter, you can even find some remaining parts of Christmas Market.

You really cannot miss the view from the top of the building. You can admire the old clock and the old city center for free! Add a glass of Gluhwein and you have a lovely time.

Uhrturm

Reviewed By bulenti2016 - Vienna, Austria

We really enjoyed the clock tower and surroundings on a sunny day. We have a small toddler; we took the lift to the top. Great view, green, quite surroundings. The coffee shop next to the clock tower is packed, many people enjoying their wine and beer. Highly recommended.
