Top places to visit

1. Graz Main Square

In Graz, all roads lead to the Hauptplatz. Quite literally, since the Hauptplatz was conceived as a central market square in the early Middle Ages and has remained the focal point of the city ever since. All major streets in the city center, the Herrengasse, Schmiedgasse, Sackstrasse, Sporgasse and the Murgasse radiate outwards from the main square. Apart from the Jakominiplatz, the Hauptplatz is also the only square in Graz which is a stop on all tram lines and that is part of the reason why the Hauptplatz is also the favorite meeting spot for people living in different parts of town.

After outgrowing two earlier city halls, Graz’s city administration built this stunning Late Historicist-Old German style hall in 1893.
