About this activity

Start your walk at Graz’s Rathaus and discover the city as layered stories rather than a checklist of sights. This self-guided tour leads you through the historic heart of Graz.

You’ll explore key Old Town landmarks, step into atmospheric churches to uncover art and relics, and learn how emperors, monks, merchants, and citizens shaped the city over centuries. Along the way, notice details many visitors miss—why a clock tower confuses first-timers, how wine once funded civic life, and where power, faith, and legend intersect. The walk then crosses the Mur River to experience Graz’s contemporary side before climbing Schlossberg.

Pause where something interests you and explore without keeping up with a group. Over 20,000 travelers have used your app to explore cities this way.

Well suited to first-time visitors, curious explorers, solo travelers, and couples. If you want to understand Graz beyond highlights, this walk is a flexible way to do it.
