Graz is often overlooked as most visitors head for Vienna, but makes an ideal destination for a stop by, particularly with the abundance of attractions on offer in the Old Town, where everything is located close together and easily manageable. Escape from reality by wandering the well-kept cobblestones of the pedestrianized streets packed with secret courtyards and alleyways that belong to another world. The food stalls tease the senses with delicious smells while the colorful restaurants and cafes all contribute to the atmosphere of an ancient quarter alive with modern-day people. Known for its friendliness and hospitality, there are few places in Europe that can rival the Old Town in full swing. Graz doesn’t feel like a typical tourist destination as the Old Town is transformed by both visitors and locals to generate a pulsating, vibrant, and historical experience that few cities of this size can equal.
