As Austria's second largest city, and referred to by many as the
country's cultural and culinary capital, Graz makes an excellent base
for a getaway. Graz caters for all tastes, ages and budgets. Nature and
history-lovers can marvel at the scenic parklands, majestic bluffs and
impressive architecture, while party-animals will find there are many

What to See and do in Graz
The best way to explore Graz is to hire a rental car. Rent.it are able
to book rental cars for customers from some of the leading names in the
rental industry. You can pick up your car from the airport on arrival in
Graz.
Popular attractions in the area include the striking Uhrturm Clock
Tower, the manicured gardens in Schlossberg Park, the Landeszeughaus
Museum and the historic Church of the Franciscans.
Shopaholics will love the Kastner and Ohler and City Park malls, as well as the large range of independent boutiques.
There are several areas that are perfect for exploring on foot such as
the Altstadt von Graz and the pretty Sporgasse. After a stroll why not
enjoy a cream-topped hot chocolate while soaking up the atmosphere in a
quaint Austrian cafe?

beautiful Schloss Eggenberg Castle. Set in several acres of magical
grounds, this impressive building is considered to be one of the most
