The perfect starting point for your explorations: right in the heart of the city and less than a five‑minute walk from the Kunsthaus, the Clock Tower, the Schlossberg, the old town – and everything else you really should see in Graz. Or, as we like to say: unmissable.
In the heart of Graz’s old town, right by the river Mur, lies Hotel Weitzer – where the city feels most alive. Just a few steps take you to the Schlossberg, the Kunsthaus or the main square. And yet, it never feels hectic here. From this spot, Graz is best discovered on foot: through narrow lanes, past Renaissance façades and small cafés, up to the clock tower with views over red rooftops and green hills.
Start your day by the river promenade or over coffee at Weitzer – and slip right into that special Graz feeling: charming, relaxed and just a little Mediterranean. Whether it’s culture, cuisine or simply the good life – at Weitzer, you’re right in the middle of it all.
Affectionately called the “Friendly Alien” by locals, the Kunsthaus Graz – opened in 2003 – has long been a city landmark with its avant‑garde design and a home to major works of contemporary art.
There are many ways up Graz’s picturesque hill – by 260 steps, by lift or by funicular.
Baroque splendour streets and narrow lanes, Renaissance façades and a hint of Mediterranean ease – Graz’s Old Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
