5 Historic Sites in Gries That You Shouldn't Miss
December 20, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach
A bevy of universities give Austria's second-largest city its lively pace. Baroque palaces are a pleasant contrast with 16th-century courtyards and provocative modern buildings. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, teems with fine architecture, including the Burg castle complex, with its Gothic double staircase, and the graceful Uhrturm clock tower. A funicular takes visitors up the dramatic bluff. The River Mur dashes through the city, and thermal springs dot the surrounding countryside.

The Old Town has so many interesting spots in different directions. The beautiful river Mur gives the town a very special touch.
