What you have to see in Graz
Graz makes it easy for visitors: the most important sights sit compactly in and around the old town. Landmark number one is the Clock Tower on the Schlossberg – reachable on foot, by funicular or by lift, with a magnificent view over the red rooftops.
Down below, the lively main square with its town hall, the splendid Renaissance Landhaus courtyard and the floating Murinsel in the river all beckon. Things get modern at the Kunsthaus with its unmistakable “friendly alien” architecture, and baroque at Eggenberg Palace on the edge of town.
From our houses you’re right in the thick of it within minutes – and since the old town is largely a pedestrian zone, exploring the highlights on foot is the nicest way to do it. Thanks to self-check-in, you can get to your room whenever you like.
