Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - What Austria is most famous for is its mountains, landscapes and the city of Vienna. Most tourists who visit this alpine country focus on those places only, and while some prefer to go to Salzburg as well and Zell am See, we think everyone misses a wonderful destination called Graz.
And the city of Graz is the second largest city in Austria after the capital, and it is really a hidden gem in this part of Europe. , but at the same time it feels very different.
Graz, the administrative center of the state of Styria, located in the southeast of Austria, is famous as a university city that includes 6 universities, frequented by students from Europe and elsewhere.
Among the reasons why you might put Graz on your list is the old town, a 20-minute walk from the train station, which is one of the best-preserved historical places in Central Europe, and is a historical site included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Graz is an ideal place for taking photographs, and a wonderful city to walk around on foot from the main square to the Schlossberg plateau, where there are the remains of an ancient fortress, and you will not believe how quickly the scene changes from busy streets to a very quiet place with a wonderful view of the city and the surrounding area.
