Understand Graz Tourism
Graz is the second-largest city in Austria, with a population of over 230,000. Some 40,000 of this population is made up of students, as Graz is home to no less than six universities (four "standard" universities and two dedicated solely to applied sciences), and is associated with names as illustrious as Johannes Kepler, Erwin Schrödinger and Nikola Tesla.
Graz was the European City of Culture for 2003.
Get into Graz
Get around in Graz
See Graz
- The historic city centre. This has been designated a World Heritage site
- The Schlossberg (Schloßberg), the castle perched upon a small mountain around which the city sprang up. The funicular (Schloßbergbahn) and elevator (Schloßberglift) will take the effort out of the walk to the top, although to use them would be to miss the wooded paths and some spectacular views.
Do Graz
- Take a trip through winding mountain passes on the 41km long Semmering Railway, which runs through Graz from Mürzzuschlag to Gloggnitz. A World Heritage site. Ticket information from ÖBB (Österreichische Bundesbahnen - the Austrian national rail network).
