Trip to Graz, Austria 🇦🇹

It was a trip to Graz, Austria. Upon arrival, we were immediately charmed by its blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty 🙌 If you’re looking to explore without too much walking, Graz is perfect, with a well-preserved medieval Old Town and plenty of photogenic spots that are easily accessible. We started our day at Schlossberg, the hilltop castle 🏰 that dominates Graz’s skyline. The panoramic views of the city from here are unbeatable, especially during golden hour when the sunlight casts a warm glow over the rooftops ✨ The funicular ride up is a great option if you prefer to avoid a steep walk. Once you’re at the top, the castle offers fantastic photo opportunities, from the clock tower to the surrounding hills 📸 📍Schlossberg, Schlossberg 1, 8010 Graz, Austria We also explored Hauptplatz, Graz’s main square, where we admired the beautiful architecture of the historic buildings surrounding it. The square is perfect for a leisurely stroll, and the colorful facades offer plenty of photo opportunities, especially around the Landhaus, with its striking Renaissance architecture 📸 You can also stop by one of the many cafes for a coffee ☕️ and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the square. 📍Hauptplatz, 8010 Graz, Austria Landhaus, Herrengasse 16, 8010 Graz, Austria We then visited Kunsthaus Graz, the “Friendly Alien”, a futuristic, blob-like structure that stands in stark contrast to the city’s historic buildings. It’s a favorite for both locals and photographers 📸 due to its unique design and reflective surfaces. We found it to be one of the most photogenic spots in Graz, especially when the sun ☀️ catches its curves and edges. 📍Kunsthaus Graz, Lendkai 1, 8020 Graz, Austria We then made our way to the Murinsel, an artificial island in the Mur River, connected by bridges. It’s an incredibly cool, modern structure, shaped like a shell, offering beautiful views of the river and the city. It’s an easy place to access, and we enjoyed snapping some pictures 📸 of the architectural contrast between this sleek, contemporary design and the older buildings around it 😍 📍Murinsel, Murinsel, 8010 Graz, Austria Finally, for the perfect end to our day, we visited Eggenberg Palace, a bit off the beaten path but definitely worth the short trip. The palace’s baroque architecture and lush gardens made for a peaceful escape from the more tourist-heavy areas 🙌We enjoyed wandering through the gardens and taking photos 📸 in front of the grand palace, surrounded by nature. 📍Eggenberg Palace, Eggenberger Allee 90, 8020 Graz, Austria Graz is a city that’s full of stunning visuals and unique landmarks, all easily accessible without the need for excessive walking. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience a charming, photogenic destination without the crowds 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #travel #vacation
