Places to go

Hey,

Today i will write about the places you have to see in Graz. The first location is The Schlossberg.

The Schlossberg is 123 meters high and is located in the center of Graz. On the Schlossberg you will find the landmark of Graz "The Clock Tower". The Schlossberg is a really nice place. You can see all over the city and is a very nice location for a romantic walk. You can reach the Schlossberg wether with the Schlossberg-Train, another option you can take the stairs or you can just walk up to the top.

Another nice place is the Hauptplatz where you can also find the town hall of Graz. This is the seat of the mayor. Built in the Middle Ages as a trapezoidal market square, the Hauptplatz was the centre of public life. And it still is. All trams of Graz stop there. The big shopping streets lead to the square. And it is the meeting place if you want to go out at night.

A newer sight is the Mur island. It was a project for the cultural city of europe 2003. Now it is an attraction. It was build by the New Yorker artist Vito Acconci.

Also the Sporgasse is very nice. Sporgasse is like a picture book of art history. Therefore, it is not advisable to look only into the nice ground-floor boutiques. From Gothic window frames, Renaissance and Baroque buildings to historicists – all styles are represented

And you should also visit Schloss Eggenberg. Schloss Eggenberg was built in 1625. Today, Styria's most splendid palace is used for cultural events. And sometimes as setting for films.
