Did you know that UNESCO has declared Graz to be part of its ‘creative cities’, meaning the city now officially belongs to their international network of forward-looking places? There are only ten others in the world, including Berlin, Montreal and Buenos Aires!

Life in Graz

For many Austrians, there isn’t a more beautiful city in the world than the quaint and idyllic, cultural centre that is Graz. Far from the busy hustle-bustle of Austria’s capital, Graz is a city that allows your talents to run wild, and has now developed into a ‘university city’ with over 60,000 students across six universities. From the many traditional and modern cultural events to the extremely hip bars, restaurants and clubs that are frequented by students in the city, there really is something for everyone in Graz. The city also has the advantage of being perfectly situated for outdoor activities all year round, such as mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, skiing, paragliding and much more – perfect for an active lifestyle!

Come explore the old town, the outstanding views from the Schlossberg, the modern culture and discover for yourself why Graz was once named the European Capital of Culture!
