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 UPC ARENA, opened in 1997, is well known as a venue for concerts as well as sporting events - no surprise considering that the likes of Tina Turner and AC/DC have raised the roof there. The VIP facilities can be used for meetings or corporate events.

Graz and its gladiators on ice Anyone who has been to a packed Merkur Eisstadion and witnessed thousands of enthusiastic fans cheering on their teams during ice hockey season will tell you about the fantastic atmosphere generated by a full house in this stadium. There is raw ice hockey power on the one hand and a great opportunity for amateur skaters to enjoy this wonderful winter pastime on the other hand. Depending on the weather, the ice rink is open from October to the beginning of March.
