What to do and see in Graz, Styria: The Best Specialty Museums
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 world's largest preserved historical armoury displays some 32,000 objects from the 15th to 18th century.
Reviewed By Peaplant - Galway, Ireland
We came in winter when access is by guided tour only. Luckily we happened to be there just in time for one. It was fantastic. Photos can't do the armoury justice. There is so much to be said about being there amounts the pieces, the smells of oils used to clean them. Amazing. Our guide was fantastic and very patient as we all tried on select samples of chain mail and wielded some replica swords. A must for anyone visiting Graz.

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.
