Austria`s second city Graz is capital of the Steiermark (Styria) region. It has a very extensive old town . The mausoleum of the Emperor Ferdinand II is a stunning highlight. The city centre is dominated by the Schlossberg (Castle Hill) with the amazing Uhrturm (Clock Tower), which dates from the 1200`s, an undoubted highlight. On the eastern edge of town is the dramatically sited pligrimage basilica of Maris Trost. To the west is the rennaisance palace of Schloss Eggenberg. This city on the southern edge of the Alps is well worth a visit.
