Things to do in Graz, no research required

Graz is mostly a question of altitude. Take the funicular up Schlossberg, the wooded hill the old town wraps around, then walk down past the Uhrturm clock tower that’s been watching the square for centuries. Tens of thousands of reviews between the two of them, and both earn it. Kalte Ente mixes cocktails a few blocks off the main square, and Mohrenwirt Graz is where to go when you want Austrian food done properly rather than done for tourists. Breakfast spots outnumber nearly everything else on this map and the bar count runs deep, so both ends of the day are covered.
