#getgoing2025 To visit Graz is to discover a rather unique city, a mixture of typical Austrian architecture, with much more modern buildings. Elected European Capital of Culture in 2003, some facilities are still in place and give the city a certain originality. 1. The Schlossberg Nothing better to start your visit to Graz than to observe it from above! Direction the Schlossberg, a hill culminating at 123 meters and overlooking the city where you can enjoy a superb panorama. To get there from Graz city center, you have the following options: On foot from Schlossbergplatz square, allow about 30 minutes to climb the 260 steps By elevator, which will take you inside the hill By funicular, starting from the Place de l’Empereur François-Joseph to the summit. Schlossberg means “Castle Mountain”, because at the time, there was indeed a castle on the hill. Until the 19th century, the Schlossberg served as a military post and refuge for the inhabitants of Graz in the event of enemy attacks. Napoleonic troops never managed to take it. 2. The Main Square The Hauptplatz is the main square to see during your stay in Graz and the ideal starting point for doing some sightseeing. Designed in the Middle Ages to accommodate the market, it still remains the nerve center of the city today . In particular, you can admire the Rathaus (the town hall) and many historic buildings with superb colored and painted facades. The square is lively all day and late into the evening. It often hosts cultural events and festivals. If you have chosen to visit Graz during the holidays, this is also where the Christmas market is located. 3. Herrengasse From Hauptplatz, then take Herrengasse, the most touristic street to go to in Graz. It is the main shopping street of the city , so you will find the traditional fashion boutiques there to do some shopping. 4. The Landeszeughaus Right next to the Landhaus is the Landeszeughaus, the must-visit museum on your trip to Graz. With more than 32,000 exhibits on 4 floors, the museum houses the largest collection of arms and armor in the world! Cannons, swords, armor, halberds, helmets, there is something for everyone. 5. St. Giles Cathedral in Graz Continue your tour of Graz through the cathedral, which is located in the historic center. Built in the 15th century, during the reign of Emperor Frederick III, it is one of the most important monuments to see in Graz, whether culturally or artistically and historically.

Austria Attractions - Graz Town Hall Square Christmas Market This Christmas market is different from the ones I introduced before. It's much smaller and relatively crowded. The town hall was first established in the 15th century. In the 16th century, it was expanded and rebuilt in the Renaissance style. The expansion and reconstruction was not completed until the 19th century. Now the entire city hall looks like a palace from a distance. Next to the square is the busiest boutique street. The entire street preserves Renaissance and Baroque buildings.

#tripaway Some more #GrazLove as the city is a favourite in here and often comes up. I was back there two years ago .The beauty of it is that you never tire of the classic views, while always finding something new. In my case, the ARGOS building by Zaha Hadid had finally been completed and there's a Red Bull Racing car attached to the rocky walls of the Schloßberg. I also stayed in Lend and got to explore this edgy neighbourhood further, with more time. #tripaway

Nice small little town

|Graz What a magical hiking place! 💥Grazer Kalvarienberg ❤️Kalvarienbergstraße 155, 8020 Graz 🎊I thought it was a mountain, but it was actually flat land. There is only one place that is very high up, and that is where Jesus suffered P2. We mortals cannot go there (at least not today). 🎊You can see the P1 building from a distance. After arriving, walk half a circle around where Jesus is, and you will pass by the seats under the magnolia tree 💺P3, and the courtyard with tall cherry trees P4-5. 🎊The hiking route actually runs along the Mur River. In the cherry blossom garden, choose [Go Left] and you will soon encounter the strange tree 🌲 on P6, which is the entrance to the main route. 🎊This road can be roughly divided into three sections (by style). ✅-The first section is an open road like P7. ✅-The second section is a tree-lined avenue like P8 where the road becomes narrower but still very flat, and then you will encounter shore scenery like P9-11. The second section ends (roughly) at P12 Forest Cafe. I was hungry when I got here, so I went in to have a meal and drink a coffee☕. 🎊Young people are mostly running, cycling or Scooter, so... I had lunch in the forest with a group of old men... The environment is really amazing It's so heavenly! If I wasn't so cold because of not having enough clothes on, I could sit here all day. P13-17 ✅-Paragraph 3: After leaving the cafe, continue walking forward. Soon the road begins to become rugged and narrow, and gets closer and closer to the water. At this time, riding a bike or scooter becomes impossible. I walked until (I thought) there was no road left (at which point I saw a bridge not far ahead). I used my hands and feet to climb to a higher place, thinking that I could get to the road 🛣️ from here. But it seems unlikely. When you choose to return, The slope down was really steep and slippery, but I relied on my basic knowledge of rock climbing to avoid rolling into the river (bushi). Then I turned back from here. 🎊If you choose to [go right] in the cherry tree garden, you will naturally go down to a small mudflat (or a flat land) by the water and see the ducks🦆 on P18. The river water has a Monet-like oil painting feel. I tried to continue to the right, but it seemed like there was no way forward, so I gave up. 🎊I love this place so much‼ ️

#CanadaFlightEvent #Grats #Kunsthaus Kunsthaus means house of art in German. In particular, the Kunsthaus in Graz has a unique exterior that looks like an alien life form.
