Graz's Absolute Must-Sees

Graz's architectural landscape spans from the medieval streets of the UNESCO-listed Old Town to the futuristic Kunsthaus and the floating Murinsel. The city’s history is anchored by the Schloßberg hill, home to the iconic 28-meter-tall Uhrturm and a former fortress. Cultural landmarks include the Styrian Armoury, housing the world's largest collection of historical weaponry, and the Baroque Schloss Eggenberg. Significant religious and civic sites include the 15th-century Gothic Cathedral, the Mannerist Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II, and the Neo-Renaissance Rathaus located on the Main Square.
