Top Graz Attractions You Can't Miss
Iconic Sights to Hidden Gems
Schlossberg & Uhrturm via Schlossberglift — easy access to the famous clock tower
Enjoy the Uhrturm (Clock Tower) and panoramic views without a steep climb by using the Schlossberglift (lift) and level paths at the top. Benches and terrace seating are available; the area is mostly step-free once you exit the lift.
Short rest / gentle descent via lift
A brief rest on a shaded bench at the Schlossberg summit and return to street level via the Schlossberglift to avoid stairs. Time to adjust after the meal before heading to the museum quarter.
Late morning: Visit the Landhaus & Inner Courtyard
Explore the graceful Renaissance Landhaus courtyard (Landhausplatz) with its arched arcades — one of Graz’s most atmospheric and intimate historic spots.
Short rest at Hauptplatz — central square with benches
A brief visit to Graz’s Hauptplatz (main square). The square is flat, with benches and cafés close by — a good low-effort way to experience the city center.
Dinner: Der Steirer — calm Styrian cuisine with accessible seating
Early, relaxed dinner featuring regional (Styrian) dishes in a comfortable dining room. The restaurant can accommodate mobility needs with level entry and spaced seating.
Natural History Museum (Universalmuseum Joanneum) — short, kid-friendly highlights
A concise, family-targeted visit to the Naturkundemuseum focusing on animal exhibits and touchable displays. Ideal as a short, calming cultural stop before wrapping up the day. Recommended ages: 3–12.
Local Tips from the travel experts
Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Graz to help you make the most of your visit.
"Use the Schlossberglift (ask staff at base for the lift access) to avoid the stairs — the lift is wheelchair-compatible and has flat access.Sit on one of the terraces for a calm view over the city; mornings are less crowded and more peaceful.There are shaded benches and public toilets near the summit; bring sunglasses for sunny spring days."
Schlossberg & Uhrturm via Schlossberglift — easy access to the famous clock tower
"Reserve an early table (around 17:45) and request step-free access and a quieter corner table.Ask the staff for milder portion sizes or simpler preparations if you prefer lighter fare in the evening.Confirm accessible restroom availability when booking and ask staff to assist with coats or belongings."
Dinner: Der Steirer — calm Styrian cuisine with accessible seating
"Find a quiet spot along the inner courtyard balustrade for a private moment — the architecture makes a romantic backdrop for photos.Check the Landhaus opening hours in advance; courtyard access is usually free but some rooms may be closed for events.The nearby cafés along Landhausgasse are sheltered from wind — perfect if the September weather turns cool."
Late morning: Visit the Landhaus & Inner Courtyard
"Reserve a table for 4–6 in advance (May evenings are busy); ask for a corner table if you want a louder, social atmosphere.Order a regionally brewed beer or a carafe of local wine to share — splitting bottles is cheap and great for groups.Try a few Styrian specialties to share (pumpkin seed oil salad, Backhendl) so everyone tastes regional cuisine without ordering solo entrees."
Dinner: traditional Styrian meal at Glöckl Bräu
"Playground pick: head for the newer play area with soft surfaces — good for toddlers and preschoolers learning to climb.Nap-friendly: find a shady lawn under chestnut trees for a short stroller nap; many parents bring a light blanket for quick resting time.Facilities: public restrooms are nearby; bring a small first-aid kit for scraped knees — park volunteers keep the area clean but basic supplies help."
Stadtpark — playground, meadow time and quiet rest
"Request a table with a view but near the restroom and elevator for minimum walking.The menu includes lighter options; ask staff to recommend dishes that are easy to eat and digest.Reserve a table in advance mentioning mobility needs; the staff can arrange step-free seating."
Lunch: Aiola Upstairs — relaxed lunch with lift access on Schlossberg
"Stroller-friendly route: the riverside promenades are flat and paved — ideal for a post-lunch stroller nap or a relaxed push.Ice cream pick: choose an outdoor vendor on the Mur riverbank with shaded benches — sit facing the river so kids can watch boats and ducks.Safety note: keep toddlers close near the water — there are railings but close supervision is best when children are running."
Murinsel (Mur Island) — riverside stroll and ice cream break
"Request a high chair and a corner booth if available — it gives toddlers a safe space and parents room for a stroller beside the table.Kids’ tip: big pizzas are great to share; ask staff to cut into small portions and to hold spicy toppings for sensitive palates.Allergy/food flexibility: L'Osteria staff are accustomed to requests (e.g., no-nut, dairy-free cheese alternatives) — mention allergies on ordering to get a simple adapted option."
Family lunch — L'Osteria (kid-friendly pizza and options)
"Focus on one or two galleries rather than rushing; the smaller scale makes for a more intimate shared experience.Sit together by the gallery windows or museum benches to talk about the pieces — the building’s exterior views are a lovely pause for two.September light is often soft inside the Kunsthaus; the curved architecture creates great opportunities for candid couple photos."
