What Graz is like
Graz is Austria's second-largest city, on the River Mur in the south-east of the country. Its old town and Schloss Eggenberg are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Schlossberg castle hill rises right in the middle of town. It's a university city with a big food reputation, built on Styrian wine, pumpkin seed oil and busy farmers' markets.
