Why Graz?
Graz, the city of knowledge
The history of Graz as a university town goes way back to the 16th
century. The city’s many universities and institutions of higher
education still attract students from all over the world. Numerous
research institutes and innovative companies make Graz a city of
knowledge, solidifying its excellent reputation as a congress
city.
However, Graz is not just a place to study, to research and to
work – most of all, it’s a city to live. Many major institutions
and renowned companies are eager to tie their qualified staff to
them – and to Graz. The young people working at these institutions
contribute a great share to the city’s lively atmosphere. From
arts and culture to architecture and an extensive network of cycle
paths. From nightlife to sustainability, from modern domestic
architecture to urban gardening. You live and learn – and Graz
boasts plenty of new things to discover all the time.
CULINARY
The Capital of Delight
Graz received this official accolade for the wonderful catering skills of its restaurateurs, who rely on their own regional produce paired with the courage to be creative. The partner restaurants of the Capital of Delight serve seasonal cuisine, drawing on the freshest ingredients from the Styrian regions of delights. Some of these even feature truffles from Graz’s Leechwald forest! Accompanied by Styrian beer, Styrian wine, Styrian fruit juices and Styrian spring water – simply the very best quality, you can taste it.
Kunsthauscafé Graz
With chic, charm and “haute cuisine”, the Kunsthauscafé, on the right bank of the River Mur, offers real big-city flair. During the day, breakfast, brunch and burgers and the city’s best coffee, let the sun shine brightly for vegans too. Later on, sipping gin & tonic or a glass of rosé, accompanied by the finest electro-beats, swing your hips or chat at the bar. Then ultimately heading home with the satisfied reflection: “Captain, we have Lended.”
Address:
Südtirolerplatz 2, 8020 Graz
What I like about it
This café is combining the gourmet and contemporary in one, transforming from gourmet durring the day to the perfect place for the electro lovers in the evening.
Zur Steirerstub'n
Whether large or small, you will be very satisfied! That’s what Steirerstub’n say of themselves – and with justification. What a true pleasure it is to enjoy the view of the Uhrturm clock tower from Zur Steirerstub’n inn on Lendplatz square. At this homey public house in the heart of Graz, the menu includes original Styrian fare and traditional Austrian cuisine. But chef Astrid Furndrat delights in surprising her guests on a regular basis with unusual ideas and creations of her own.
