Description
A walk through the magical center of Graz, Austria's secret gem: gorgeous, whimsical architecture, amazing farmers' markets, rising up a hill with breathtaking views.
We'll meet at the WEIKHARD UHR clock on the HAUPTPLATZ main square, and admire some of the landmarks, including the GEMAHLTE HAUS with its painted facade, and the LANDHAUS, Styria's most magnificent renaissance building.
We'll explore quaint mediaeval PASSAGEWAYS behind the HERRENGASSE, then stop at the GLOCKENSPIEL and walk through the pedestrian BERMUDA TRIANGLE, with its stylish cafes. We'll pop into the magnificent renaissance Landhaus, the seat of the Parliament of Styria, and visit the council chamber, if open.
We'll climb the historic SPORGASSE shopping street as it winds its way uphill, visiting the ancient KNIGHTS' COURTYARD. We'll look at historic Hofbakerei, the OLDEST BAKERY in town, then at the mediaeval university and seminary, and then we'll see the famous one and only DOUBLE WINDING STAIRCASE.
After walking to the top of the SCHLOSSBERG hill to see the iconic UHRTURM tower, ransomed from Napoleon by the city's folk, we'll admire the picturesque ROOFSCAPE of the old city from above, and the FAR-REACHING VIEWS to the hills and beyond.
Then we'll walk down the steps, return to the main square, peek into the MUSEUM OF GRAZ, the K&O department store, then visit HAUPTPLATZ and end at FRANCISKANERPLATZ by the river.

INFORMATION IMPORTANTE
Graz can get very COLD in winter, and quite HOT in summer, please come suitably dressed to enjoy the tour. A bottle of water in summer / thermos flask with hot drink in winter would also be a good idea.
There's a plain clock on a stand, in front of the Weikhard jewellery shop, which is the traditional meeting place at Hauptplatz, the main square of Graz's Old Town. It's just behind the tram stop.
