About this activity

A personally narrated walking tour of Graz: Ten main stops and twelve detailed walking chapters connect the Main Square, Herrengasse, Landhaushof, and Franciscan Monastery with the Mur, Kunsthaus, Murinsel, Schloßberg, and Stadtkrone. Around 93 minutes through a city that connects power, everyday life, and new ideas behind facades, in courtyards, and on surprisingly short paths. You start when you want and go at your own pace – the audio tour runs directly in your smartphone's browser, completely without an app download. GPS points automatically start the stories exactly where you are standing.

The viewing house on the corner of Hauptplatz/Sporgasse: Those who look closely discover hidden faces on the facade – a first hint that Graz likes to look back.

The Grazer Cathedral, the late Gothic court church of Kaiser Friedrich III, stands right next to the mausoleum and the castle and shows how closely faith and rule were connected in Graz.

The Graz Castle with the famous Gothic double spiral staircase: two stairs that wind around each other without ever meeting – a symbol of imperial architecture in Graz.
