The food scene in Graz is best discovered on foot — walk between Hauptplatz and farmers market and Murinsel floating island to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Eggenberg Palace for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
Graz is Austria's second city and a UNESCO Creative City of Design, where a beautifully preserved Renaissance old town meets bold contemporary architecture like the alien-shaped Kunsthaus.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided food tour route in Graz. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Hauptplatz and farmers market — the main square with an Erzherzog Johann fountain, surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque facades, hosting a daily farmers' market with Styrian specialties, Murinsel floating island — a futuristic acrylic-and-steel island floating on the Mur River, designed by Vito Acconci in 2003 as a café, amphitheater, and playground, plus hidden gems like Eggenberg Palace — a Baroque palace on the city outskirts with 365 windows and a Planet Hall ceiling painted with astrological scenes, surrounded by peacock-filled gardens and Lend neighborhood — a multicultural area across the Mur from the old town with Turkish bakeries, vintage shops, and the Annenviertel creative hub.
Use this page as a starting point for a Graz walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Graz. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
While Graz is best known for design and food, stops like Hauptplatz and farmers market and Murinsel floating island sit alongside bakeries and cafes tucked into side streets — and quieter spots like Eggenberg Palace where the real locals eat. A food-focused walk connects the culinary landmarks with the places that reflect daily life, turning a sightseeing route into an edible discovery.
Climb the Schlossberg steps early morning for exercise and views — the path passes through shaded gardens with benches and viewpoints at every turn.
May through September offers warm weather for outdoor dining and farmers market visits, with the Styriarte classical music festival running through summer.
