Off to Graz

Uhrturm – Experience Graz from above

The Clock Tower (Uhrturm) on the Schlossberg is Graz’s iconic landmark—and the perfect spot for your first "wow" moment. Stroll through the lush Schlossberg Gardens, soak in the panoramic views over the red rooftops of the Old Town, and snap that classic Graz postcard photo.

Pro tip: You can reach the top on foot, by the historic Schlossberg funicular, or via the scenic Schlossberglift. Once you’re there, breathtaking viewpoints and a magical atmosphere await.

Kunsthaus Graz – the "Friendly Alien"

At the heart of the city, Kunsthaus Graz makes a bold architectural statement. The futuristic façade of this affectionately nicknamed "Friendly Alien" creates a striking contrast to Graz’s historic Old Town, showcasing the city’s unique blend of tradition and innovation.

Inside, you’ll discover ever-changing exhibitions featuring contemporary art, international artists, and groundbreaking installations. A standout highlight is the BIX Media Façade, which transforms the building itself into a dazzling canvas of light and projections. A must-visit for art and architecture lovers—and the perfect stop for an inspiring city break in Graz.

Landeszeughaus – Styrian Armery

The Styrian Armoury (Landeszeughaus) is a true marvel of history—home to the world’s largest collection of historical arms and armor. With around 32,000 weapons, suits of armor, and military artifacts from the 15th to 18th centuries, this extraordinary museum offers an unparalleled journey into the past. Built between 1642 and 1645, the Armoury remains remarkably preserved in its original state, providing a rare and authentic window into the military world of the medieval and early modern eras.
