Graz

Cultural Capital Graz

Graz is the capital of the southern Austrian state of Styria. The main square forms the heart of the medieval old town. The surrounding narrow streets with Renaissance and Baroque-style buildings are lined with stores and restaurants. A cable car runs up the Schlossberg, the town’s local mountain, to the centuries-old clock tower. The futuristic Kunsthaus Graz presents contemporary art on the banks of the Mur.
