Cheap flights To Graz (GRZ) from $57

When you fly to Graz, you can enjoy sightseeing in one of Austria's oldest cities. Graz is divided into several sections. One of the most picturesque of these is the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site with over 1,000 buildings. Many of these buildings are centuries old. Graz was chosen as the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2003, and its many art institutions attest to that distinction.

Attractions

From the strikingly avant-garde Kunsthaus to the 17th-century Schloss Eggenberg museums, Graz has a wide range of cultural establishments. The Museum im Palais is a historical museum exhibiting the art and treasures of the local region. The Neue Galerie, which includes 19th- and 20th-century art, and the Landeszeughaus, a medieval armory with over 32,000 exhibits, will occupy you with their diverse collections. The city's opera house will satisfy any music lover. Ride the funicular railway to the top of the Schlossberg, the hill overlooking Old Town, to enjoy views of the castle, garden and signature clock tower found in the area.
