Graz city
Heading to Graz!
Aerial view on Graz
If there is a Central European city to visit, it's this one! Packed with charm, you need to visit Graz within several days, just to capture the diversity of its Italian, Slavic but also Pannonian heritage. Once there, you just have to let yourself be carried away by the city's atmosphere and stroll through the streets and their contemporary architecture as well as a more traditional one in the historic center classified as World Heritage site by UNESCO.
The clock tower is a must, landmark of the city, built in the sixteenth century. Also, be aware that the Austrians consider the city as "the Pays de Cocagne of the nation" or the Austrian capital of flavors, no less! On the menu, fine white wines, delicious marrow oil and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to crunch throughout an unforgettable stay.
