However, Graz not only has a historic city center, but also many architecturally interesting, modern buildings. In 2012, Graz was therefore awarded the title "City of Design". Many of the new buildings date back to 2003, when Graz was "European Capital of Culture". The flair of the old town is best enjoyed in a restaurant garden.

Kunsthaus: the "friendly alien" enriches the cityscape of Graz with its extraordinary architecture alone, showing national and international contemporary art.

Eggenberg Palace: Graz's city palace with its large park and various gardens is a fascinating work of art. It houses valuable collections from the Universal Museum and an archaeology museum, where you can also find the "Strettweg Cult Chariot".
