Graz is not only the second largest city in Austria and a recognized university city. Graz is also a historically and culturally highly interesting place. The old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 and Graz was the European Capital of Culture in 2003. The Graz Cathedral (built 1438-1462), the clock tower as the city's landmark, the baroque Eggenberg Palace and of course the architecturally exceptional Kunsthaus Graz on the right bank of the Mur are definitely worth a visit. Dining is excellent in the design ambience with a view of the Aiola upstairs (Schlossberg 2, Tel: +43 316 818797)
