From the castle hill to the alpine pasture: Country holidays around Graz
Between Graz's UNESCO-listed old town and the rolling hills of Styria, you'll find authentic farms around the capital city, offering the perfect blend of city and country. Here you can wake up to views of gentle hills, help with the milking, and explore a region where cultural highlights meet traditional rural life – ideal for families and city explorers.
Graz and surroundings: Where cultural city meets idyllic farm life
The region around Graz combines the best of both worlds: While the Styrian capital beckons with its UNESCO-listed Old Town, Schlossberg (Castle Hill), and Murinsel (Mur Island), the surrounding farms offer pure relaxation amidst vineyards and orchards. Here, peaceful Murboden cattle and Mangalitza pigs graze on lush pastures, while hosts pamper guests with Styrian delicacies such as pumpkin seed oil, Schilcher wine, and homemade Verhackerten (a type of spreadable meat product). The rolling hills of southern and western Styria make every walk a pleasure, and the short distances to Graz allow for spontaneous cultural excursions to the Kunsthaus (Art Museum) or the Botanical Garden.
