Graz
Graz is so colorful you´ll spend sleepless nights there. This self-confident town has done its bit for posterity: the old town has become a UNESCO world heritage site. The Mur river is the lifeline of the town, here one lives relaxed according to the rhythm of the water. Most of all Graz is a melting pot of culture. The European Cultural Town of 2003 has always been a great place for musicians, actors, poets, architects and designers. The capital of the province of Styria is always worth a visit. Explore one of the most beautiful and oldest town centers, enjoy the view of the town´s red-tiled roofs from the Schlossberg hill, have a look at the historic Zeughaus (arsenal), stroll along narrow pathways, picturesque squares and experience the town´s southern flair. Because of its unique variety of architectonic styles ranging from the Middle Ages via Renaissance Period to present, the town center of Graz was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Since its coronation as European Culture Capital 2003 the mood in Austria´s second largest city has been on the up.
