Summer in Graz
Get out and dive into the fun!
Which city besides Graz can boast of having a green, walkable mountain right in the middle of the old town? The Schlossberg.
Once you reach the top, there is much to discover and enjoy the magnificent views: the red roofs, the hills, and mountains of the surrounding area. Newly in love couples often pay less attention to the surroundings as the place is still considered the number one romantic meeting point. However, it's definitely worth taking a look around: the Clock Tower of Graz is a curiosity in itself. The hour and minute hands are actually swapped, which has confused many visitors trying to compare the time on their watches.
From the Schlossberg, you naturally have the best overview of the city! If the nearly 300 steps from Schlossbergplatz to the Clock Tower or the footpath through Sporgasse and Karmeliterplatz seem a bit too sporty, you can choose between the Schlossberg Funicular with panoramic views or the glass elevator inside the Schlossberg rock. You can reach the valley stations on foot or by tram (lines 3 and 5) through Sackstraße.
