Graz<br />

There’s nothing better than being unexpectedly<br />

delighted and thoroughly captivated on any<br />

travel itinerary. In fact, maybe even left wondering<br />

why you hadn’t known of this gem before. In<br />

entertainment, it’s sometimes referred to as a<br />

‘sleeper hit’. The southerly Austrian city of Graz<br />

with its charming laid-back attitude firmly knows<br />

that dining al fresco goes hand-in-hand with its<br />

sunny Mediterranean-influenced climate; that<br />

architecture is best contemplated through the<br />

striking <strong>com</strong>ing together of historical heritage<br />

and avant-garde new designs; and that culture<br />

transcends age with its calendar of events often<br />

held at out-of-the-ordinary locations.<br />

Much on the summertime programme also highlights Graz’s well-respected culinary scene - if food is a way to everyone’s heart then it’s hard not<br />

to fall in love with this Styrian capital city. From restaurants helmed by internationally-recognised chefs, to local haunts, to enticing sidewalk cafes,<br />

to festivals celebrating all things gastronomic, this UNESCO-recognised destination, with its landmark Clock Tower overlooking the city, knows<br />

the recipe to the good-life and is happy to take all the time it needs to give visitors a taste.<br />
