Culture, Food and Nature
Graz, the capital of Styria and Austria's second largest town, is nestled in the south of the country, and known as a lively and artsy place, where modern architecture and the historic heritage (an UNESCO site!) perfectly blend. The city enchants with its Mediterranean vibe and many sunshine hours, its art spaces, festivals, and foodie hotspots. And there's more to discover beyond its borders: Historic treasures, unspoiled nature, and beautiful spots to take a hike, hop on a bike, or relax right amidst the vineyards are just a stone's throw away. "From the city to the countryside in ten minutes," is a popular local saying.
Graz is a place where you can live and breath the Austrian "Lebensgefühl": Traditions are loved and celebrated when locals dressed in Dirndl and Lederhosen dance around the main square, while the museums and creative quarters shine with a blaze of colour and diversity.
Another keyword: Indulgence. Graz above all is a culinary hotspot, characterised by farmers' markets, regional products, small street cafés, and top restaurants. The locals love nothing more than sitting in an open space with a good glass of wine, enjoying life. Graz is a city of the senses.
