Graz, the capital of Styria and Austria's second largest city, is picturesquely situated in the Graz Basin on the banks of the River Mur - only around 150 kilometers southwest of Vienna. Surrounded by rolling hills and marked by the Schlossberg with its famous clock tower, Graz combines scenic beauty with urban flair. With around 300,000 inhabitants, the city is a vibrant center for culture, business and education. The name "Graz" comes from the Slovenian gradec - "small castle" - and refers to its medieval roots. Today, Graz inspires with a unique mixture of UNESCO-protected old town, modern architecture and lots of greenery - a place that harmoniously combines tradition and innovation.
As Austria's second largest city and a university city with over 60,000 students, Graz is young, dynamic and at the same time steeped in tradition. This mix is reflected in the numerous events that take place throughout the year. The Styrian Autumn Festival, one of the most important festivals for contemporary art in Europe, enjoys international attention. Music lovers appreciate the Styriarte, which offers classical music at the highest level, while the La Strada Festival enlivens the streets with theater, circus arts and acrobatics. In summer, the Jazz Summer Graz attracts audiences from all over the world.
