‘Best of’ Styria – get to know the culinary side of Graz in Austria


Sure, “bon appétit” works too, but when in Austria, why not give the local lingo a try and wish your fellow travelers “Mahlzeit” (“mealtime”) as you sit down to your latest delicious discovery on this ‘best of’ experience to Austria’s capital of culinary delights.

Graz is a foodie’s dream come true, an epicurean experience at every turn amidst a vibrant city scene. Here, in the Styrian capital on the banks of the River Mur, a host of internationally-acclaimed restaurants, friendly bars and colourful local markets can be found dotted amongst the visually-striking buildings. It is clear that in Graz the architectural highlights of the region come together and the various styles collide in the most pleasing of ways.

On a culinary themed city tour, you’ll have a chance to stroll through one of Graz’s 16 farmers’ markets that are a source of fresh and organic products to the city’s culinary outlets. Bet you won’t resist a tempting taste here and there! At a relaxed pace, discover the historic Old Town (a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site) as you exchange stories with fellow visitors. You’ll also enjoy an exclusive tour of the newly re-opened Natural History Museum.

Attention chocolate lovers – a special treat for you: a guided visit to the Zotter Chocolate Factory is sure to make a sweet impression. At Zotter, an Organic and Fair Trade philosophy starts with the bean and there is no flavour that’s unimaginable. Olive & lemon anyone? Or how does “I’ll try a bit of the peanuts & ketchup bar” sound?!

Just a short journey outside the city takes you to the Rogner Bad Blumau thermal spa hotel, where two natural hot springs provide not only the mineral-rich waters for the hotel’s thermal pools, but are also a key source of the hotel’s power. This unique resort is a true visual feast for the eyes and relaxation for body and soul
