Styria

Austria's south-eastern region of Styria offers a wealth of exciting experiences. Discover the regional city of Graz, the capital of joy, where art and culture meet. The medieval atmosphere takes you back to ancient times as you stroll through old town. The Old Town was named European Capital of Culture in 2003.

In the region's capital Graz, medieval atmosphere pulsates. The city is characterised by red roofs, Baroque buildings and idyllic courtyards. Styria's largest river, the Mur, flows through the city. In the middle of the river, a combined art and café house floats, which is certainly an experience in itself. Here you can spend a lovely city break or a romantic holiday for two.

The surroundings of Graz are also worth discovering. North of the city there are mountains and meadows, hiking and cycling trails. South of the city are the hot springs and it is here that internationally renowned wines are produced on impressive vineyards. Enchanting castles adorn the beautiful landscape to the east. To the west, the famous pumpkin oil "Green Gold" from Styria is produced. Go on a self-drive holiday to Austria with Risskov and find a wealth of cheap hotel accommodation with meals and in child-friendly hotels.
