At Christmas time, Graz – the second-largest city in Austria – is a perfect place for a day out. Its charming old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city has one of the richest Christmas markets in Central Europe. 🎄 The drive is short and easy, the sights are interesting, and there is plenty of free time for exploring and shopping at the market stalls. Join us on a trip to Styria, Austria! ✨
We set off in the morning and arrive in Graz, the capital of Styria, by mid-morning. We start with a walk through the city centre, where you'll see the main square, the oldest bakery and the Habsburg palace. 🏰 Then we continue to the Styrian Regional Assembly building (the Landhaus), home to the famous ice nativity scene – a Christmas scene carved from ice and a tradition in Graz since 1996. After that, the rest of the day is yours. Walk around the market stalls, buy some gifts and warm up with mulled wine or hot punch. 🍷 The city looks most magical when the Christmas lights are switched on. In the evening, we head back home. 🚌
GRAZ
Graz is the capital of Styria and the second-largest city in Austria, mixing history, culture and modern life. Its well-preserved old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with medieval and Renaissance buildings, cobbled streets and landmarks like the Clock Tower (Uhrturm) on Schlossberg hill. 🕰️
Graz is also a city of students and new ideas, with several universities and a lively creative scene. There are many museums and art galleries, busy food markets and local specialities to try. Surrounded by vineyards and green countryside, the city combines historic charm with a modern outlook – a welcoming place to visit, especially at Christmas. 🎅
