Steiermark's Absolute Essentials

Steiermark combines imperial history with modern architectural innovation. In Graz, the UNESCO-listed Old Town features the world's largest historic armoury, the Baroque Eggenberg Castle, and the futuristic Kunsthaus. The Schlossberg hill offers views of the 28-meter-high Uhrturm clock tower. Beyond the capital, the region showcases the Mariazell Basilica, a major pilgrimage site, and the dramatic Dachstein mountains, home to a glacier ice cave and the Stairway to Nothingness suspension bridge. Medieval ruins like Gallenstein Castle and the floating Murinsel further highlight the province's diverse heritage.
