The Landscape

Nestled in the south of Austria, Graz is geographically positioned so well that you can quickly be in the mountains or by the sea. In between, you can explore regional delicacies in traditional wine taverns (Buschenschänke) or in fine dining restaurants, visit museums, enjoy hilly landscapes, picturesque vineyards, and experience a warm sense of hospitality and well-being.
