Graz is the capital city of the southern Austrian province of Styria. At its heart is Hauptplatz, the medieval old town’s main square. Shops and restaurants line the narrow surrounding streets, which blend Renaissance and baroque architecture. A funicular leads up Schlossberg, the town hill, to the Uhrturm, a centuries-old clock tower. Across the River Mur, futuristic Kunsthaus Graz exhibits contemporary art.
Graz is the second-largest city in Austria after Vienna, with a population of about 330,000. Some 50,000 of this population is made up of students, as Graz is home to no less than six universities. The city is associated with famous names such as Johannes Kepler, Erwin Schrödinger and Nikola Tesla. Its historic centre (Altstadt) is one of the best-preserved city centres in Central Europe. In 1999, the city's historic centre was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Graz was designated the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2003 and became a City of Culinary Delights in 2008.
Our guided walking tour is about 4.2 miles (7 km) long, starts at Graz Cathedral and covers most attractions and historic sites of Graz.
