Austria's 'Little Castle'—Experience the Passage of Time in the Old Town of Graz
Graz is called Austria's 'Little Castle' because the word 'Graz' comes from the Slavic language, originally meaning a small castle. Today, Graz has become Austria's second-largest city, with the Mur River, a tributary of the Danube, flowing through it. The old town is located on the eastern bank of the Mur River—this is also where the attractions of Graz are concentrated.
🌟 Highlights:
The Armoury Museum
Graz is the hometown of Schwarzenegger, who was an actor before becoming a governor, and it happens to have the world's largest armoury museum, which is as tough in style as Schwarzenegger himself. The weapons here are well-preserved, many of them gleaming with a cold light, as if they are still imposing on the battlefield.
Schlossberg (Castle Hill)
Climb to the top of Schlossberg to overlook the entire little town of Graz and feel the serene atmosphere surrounding you. When descending the hill, you can choose to take a slide, which is both fun and exciting.

Austria’s Second Largest City
Graz is the second largest city of Australia and the capital of federal state Styria. I remember that our tour guide mentioned too that Graz is the is the birthplace of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
We went up to the 473-metre high Graz Schlossberg for the best vantage point to enjoy the view of the city. Aside from the picturesque views of the old and new Graz, the park features a 28 meter clock tower, which is the traditional and most beloved symbol of city.
Going down the park, one can take a leisure climb down via stairs to enjoy more of the view (which my husband and I chose) or take the Slide Graz going down for a very exciting 30-40secs. It is said to be the highest underground slide in the world 😊🍂.
