Graz

Graz's "Old Town" is one of the best-preserved city centers in Central Europe. The old city is a harmonious blend of the architectural styles and artistic movements that have succeeded each other since the Middle Ages, together with cultural influences from the neighbouring regions.

Nina (Austria):
Graz is a really nice city. You can walk through the inner city and see many nice buildings, many have interesting paintings on their walls (and I don't mean graffiti!). I like to visit Graz!

A lesser-known city, perhaps, but the EU did not make Graz the European Capital of Culture in 2003 for nothing. It has a very nice and very well-preserved city centre with many fine buildings from several epochs, watched from above by the Uhrturm (clock tower), the city´s landmark. Certainly a nice place to visit, espcially in late summer/early fall, when there are cultural festivals and the nearby vineyards can be enjoyed. Oh yes, and Schwarzenegger is from there - but naming the stadium after him was too much of an honor in my opinion.
