The best photos of Graz aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Schlossberg and clock tower and Kunsthaus Graz will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Eggenberg Palace for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
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 photography tour route in Graz. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Schlossberg and clock tower — a 473-meter hilltop park with the iconic Uhrturm clock tower from 1712, reachable by a glass elevator carved through the rock or 260 steps, Kunsthaus Graz — a biomorphic blob-shaped museum nicknamed the Friendly Alien, with a BIX media facade that turns the building into a giant screen at night, 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, 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.
Graz attracts visitors for design and food, and Schlossberg and clock tower and Kunsthaus Graz and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Eggenberg Palace reward those who wander off the main path.
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.
