Street in Graz
Graz’s Altstadt is a UNESCO-listed old town of Renaissance courtyards, Baroque facades, and narrow lanes climbing the Schlossberg hill. Free to walk. The Hauptplatz (main square), the Landhaus (Renaissance courtyard, free), and the double spiral staircase in Burg (free) are the highlights. Budget travelers walk through the old town, find the double staircase, and discover that Graz is the second-largest city in Austria and significantly cheaper than Vienna.

Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
A biomorphic "Friendly Alien" building by Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, opened in 2003 for Graz's year as European Capital of Culture. The building is the statement; the interior hosts rotating contemporary art exhibitions with no permanent collection. The BIX media facade on the exterior displays light art installations at night.
