About Graz
Graz is Austria’s second largest city. It’s ‘Old Town’ is one of the best preserved city centres in Europe, you can really get a feel for what it was like here 500 years ago. It is situated on the River Mur and the ‘Schlossberg’ (castle on a hill) which dominates the old town, is one of the many sights worth seeing in Graz. There are also many museums, a Theatre and The Opera House.
Due to Graz’s importance as a university city, (there are 6), Graz has a very vibrant nightlife.

However, times have changed, and although Graz does not have the gayscene that Vienna has, it is there to be found.
