Why Graz Old Town matters

The Graz old town is one of the best-preserved city centres in Central Europe, with arcaded courtyards and a pretty main square. Spend time on Hauptplatz, step into hidden courtyards and enjoy cafés and local food markets.

Talking points

  • Arcaded courtyards hide behind plain facades.
  • The main square is the town's meeting point.
