About Graz

The Mediterranean atmosphere of the Old Town, hidden alleys, picturesque courtyards, ornate facades, magnificent buildings and spectacular and futuristic modern architecture all add up to a unique and fascinating blend.

You'll hardly find another city offering so much variety in such a compact and manageable space. Nowhere else can one stray around in such a pleasurable way without getting lost.

And it may well have been just the penchant for diversity and visions that made Graz 2003 the ideal choice for the Cultural Capital of Europe. In 2007, the city's event calendar again features an abundance of cultural events of high international standard.
