Description
The city of Graz is the second largest city of Austria and the state capital of Styria, also called the "Green March". With its many parks and forests in immediate vicinity of the city, people can enjoy a very high quality of life here. You can spend your spare time either in one of the many museums, visit the sights, or simply go on a shopping spree.
Graz's world-renowned department store is in a cul-de-sac, one minute from the Hauptplatz. It dates back to 1883, where Carl Kastner missed his connection and thus explored the city. He stumbled upon an empty business locale in the centre, which he spontaneously rented. This became the headquarters of Kastner & Öhler.
Graz also offers numerous cultural highlights, opera, shows, and cabarets. One may say: There is always something going on in Graz.
