Graz is a town with a long and interesting past. It has buildings and historic sites dating back over 800 years.

Day 14 - Arrival in Graz
Much of the accommodations we offer in Graz are within easy walking distance of the train station, or a very short cab ride. There is a taxi stand at the station. By walking or taking a cab rather than having us arrange a transfer service (which is, in our opinion is overpriced in Graz) you will save at least $50.
City of Design
Graz is a city where historical and modern styles live side by side, allowing time travel from block to block. It's no coincidence that UNESCO considers Graz a "City of Design." From bohemian street furniture to the careful blending of historical residences with modern trends you'll feel that the statement "good architecture creates intimacy and changes reality" comes alive in Graz. One of the most stunning and fun examples of the city's contemporary structures is the "Murinsel", an iron and glass construction floating on the surface of the river.
