Brief Itinerary
Day 1
Start gently with a seated breakfast in a classic Graz café with table service, accessible seating and level entry. Café Meran offers traditional Austrian pastries and light breakfasts in a quiet setting.
1h
A brief taxi ride up to the Schlossberg area to minimize walking and steep slopes. Taxis in Graz are reliable and will drop you near the Schlossberg lift entrance.
15m
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.
1h 15m
A relaxed Styrian lunch on the Schlossberg with elevator access from the lift level. The restaurant offers seating with views and a calm atmosphere, ideal for an early/peaceful midday meal.
1h 15m
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.
