Hello,

I was in Graz the last four days and i can say, it's a trip worth... There is the Schlossberg where you have a great view of Graz, the Uhrturm, the jakominiplatz, some museums and also a big concert hall :P The nightlife is also amazing, because Graz is a student city and therefore there are some nice locations for party (e.g. Bollwerk or Bermuda-Dreieck)

if you have any question ask me.

Hello, Thanks about your advice.
I opened a new topic about my trip in Austria because now i have a big doubt. You can see it here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/salzburg-graz/f2795[/u]
I dunno if to go to Salzburg or to Graz. Which city is the best and which has more things to see and to do.

Thanks

Wonderful! I'll be staying at Graz for two weeks (june 29th till july 10th), to follow a course at the university over there. I hope we'll be able to get some time off to visit some of the things mentioned here. Don't hesitate to post more, since we'll be there for such a long time! Afterwards we'll be travelling around Austria for five days (2d Salzburg, 1d Linz, 2d Vienna) before we fly back to Belgium, so I'll be checking the other topics on this forum as well. This is just great!

Here's some basic info, the same I gave log_out in the topic he's linked above.

Information about Graz: [u]https://rail.cc/en/graz/c[/u]

There you find most of the basic attractions - Schloßberg with Uhrturm with a lift inside the hill that takes you up almost to the top and a cafe with a terrific view.
Schloß Eggenberg a little bit outside the city with a nice park and a collection of old paintings
Kunsthaus, the new art gallery built in 2003 when Graz was cultural capital of europe, with exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. It's situated in the Mariahilfer quarter, with lots of small, unique stores.
The Old town with Herrengasse, Rathaus, steep Sporgasse for shopping and just wandering around.
Zeughaus, an old armoury with a large collection of old weapons (swords etc) in an old partly wooden house.

There's a nice hostel, 20€ a day including breakfast; the campsites around the town are quite expensive but I could look around for exact prices etc if youre interested.

There are two campsites in respectively close to Graz, but they are expensive as I mentioned before:
www.tiscover.at/campingcentral (in Graz; 17! € a day in jul and aug)
www.sfz.at/cms/cms.php?pageName=60 (in the south a little outside; as you can see there are no specific fares for people with a tent only, maybe you should check via mail)

However, since the fares are so high I'd recommend staying at Jugendgästehaus (which I mentioned above):
www.jufa.at/graz.php
