Where to stay for Graz’s old town?

Graz’s old town is one of the best preserved in Central Europe – a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Landmarks line up in a small area: the Clock Tower high above the city, the lively main square with the town hall, the splendid Renaissance courtyard of the Landhaus, and the modern Murinsel in the river.

From our sHome houses in Graz you’re right in the middle of it within minutes – and since the old town is largely car-free, it’s best explored on foot. Thanks to self-check-in you can get to your room any time, so you can shop and stroll by day and enjoy Graz’s bar and restaurant scene by night.

Fancy some art? The Kunsthaus, with its unmistakable “friendly alien” architecture, sits right on the banks of the Mur. If you’d like to dive in deeper, combine the old town with a weekend in Graz or a trip into Styria.
