Famous Landmarks
Clock Tower
47.0707°N, 15.4395°E
The Uhrturm (Clock Tower), perched atop the Schlossberg, is Graz's most recognisable symbol. Dating from the 13th century, this 28-metre tower has a unique feature: its hands are reversed, with the large hand indicating hours and the small one minutes. It offers a panoramic view over the red-tiled roofs of the UNESCO-listed old town.
Kunsthaus
47.0707°N, 15.4395°E
The Kunsthaus, nicknamed 'the friendly alien' for its biomorphic shape, is a contemporary art museum inaugurated in 2003 when Graz was European Capital of Culture. Its translucent blue acrylic facade features 930 light rings forming a media surface called BIX. Designed by Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, the building boldly contrasts with the surrounding baroque architecture.
Schlossberg
47.0707°N, 15.4395°E
The Schlossberg is a 473-metre wooded hill in the heart of Graz, a former fortified site whose ramparts withstood all Ottoman sieges. Now a popular green space, it is accessible by glass elevator, funicular, or steps carved into the rock. The hill offers the finest views of the city and hosts open-air concerts in its casemates.

A gift as surprising and creative as this city that blends baroque with avant-garde.
The sky of Graz
