Schlossberg castle

Graz, Austria
4.9 / 84
schlossberg-castleschlossberg-castle
The fortress is located on a hill 450 meters high. It became famous throughout Europe for the fact that it was never taken during a siege since its foundation in the XII century. Once the city of Graz was the central city of the Austrian lands, so the castle was necessary for defense purposes. On the Castle Hill there is a 28-meter high Urturm clock tower. All four facades of the tower have hour dials. The chronometer of the tower has been in operation since the beginning of the 18th century.

Amazing view of the whole city absolutely for free. Many spots to explore or have a picnic. There are also some restaurants. You can reach the top on foot or by cable car (3€). Really beautiful and clean.

If you are in Graz, then this is a place you should definitely visit. It has a beautiful view of the whole of Graz. A place that is also interesting for children. You also have a restaurant, a cafe, and places for picnics.

Nice place to walk with different paths and stairs. You have a good view of tje city. You would expect the bars would be more expensive but for a good half liter beer you pay the same as somewhere else.

There are some ruins and some additional cafes and other entertainment here but the most amazing thing are the views. Definitely recommend if the weather is good, can be visited by foot/elevator/cable car without additional entrance fee.

Really amazing place. Worthy to see. You can hardly see anything like this anywhere else. The park with historical building on the top of the city. Very catching views if you are lucky with weather.

Nothing special, I didn't really like the view of the city. Spent €4 for the lift and probably no more than 10 minutes up top. If you feel like taking a walk and the weather is nice, go up on foot, however getting there just for the sake of.. Read more »

You can have a great walk up the hill with a beautiful panorama of the city. Alternatively you can use a lilt located in the tunnel and slide down within 35-40 seconds. Great fun

The Schlossberg is always worth the walk up. Nice view overlooking the city, a bit more air on hot summer days or nights.

Going up the stairs might not be the best idea for everyone but that's why you have an elevator. You can easily buy a two day ticket or you walk down on the other side and also check out the city park (it's not far). It's the best att.. Read more »

Lovely view over the region and a nice hike. Choose the less frequently used paths on the northeastern slopes they offer an almost intimate atmosphere. Best time to go is in autumn and don't forget to taste the fantastic Schilchersturm somewhere.. Read more »
