Direct Graz we made a stop in Wolfsberg. Then arrived in the capital of Styria, the first problem is the parking can be found, but all with the parking meter. City Center is the main square, surrounded by beautiful buildings, as well as the characteristic Herrenstrasse, the way of shops in the city. Graz is a must get on Uhrturm, the Clock Tower, which offers a spectacular view over the city, the climb is very easy even on the paths that climb to the top of the Schlossberg, but you can also use the funicular. A little 'critical architecture of the Museum of Modern Art. The colorful tram ride up and down in the city, where, however, there is a wide pedestrian area.
We stayed a bit 'out of town, in Gratkorn, the hotel namesake, € 82.00 double room large with a hearty breakfast.
In and around to see without a doubt the Freilichtmuseum of Stubing (Museum of the houses in the open air), where Austrian and rebuilt old farmhouses where you spend a couple of hours browsing in the interiors of homes belonging to the past. There are also similar museums in Carinthia.
Returning to Graz is also worth visiting the Abbey of Stift Rein.
Jewel is also the castle of Graz Eggenberg, just outside the city, to admire the interior of the room with the Planetarium and the lovely park that surrounds it.
