A MINI GUIDE TO GRAZ (aka Austria’s most underrated city!) 👇🏻🇦🇹 ad
I honestly don’t know why more people aren’t talking about Graz.
It’s Austria’s second largest city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the culinary capital of the country... and somehow it still flies under the radar 👀
Not only is Graz full of stunning architecture, hidden courtyards, buzzing farmers’ markets & a relaxed Mediterranean energy you don’t find elsewhere in Austria… It’s also surrounding by lush countryside & vineyards! 🍷🍃
Now British Airways have launched direct flights here from Gatwick it really is the ideal spot for a weekend escape 💁🏼♀️
