Schloss Eggenberg is such an interesting palace and it is even in a walking-distance of about 20-25 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof. You may take the tram #1 as well, but from the station "Schloss Eggenberg" you have to walk again 5-10 minutes in order to get to the castle.
The door of the castle-park will be locked at night !!
You may walk around the park of Eggenberg palace / Schloss Eggenberg on your own, freely and without restrictions during the day, BUT in order to see the interior of that beautiful palace, you have to take a GUIDED tour !!
That way you have to calculate about 3-4 hours for Eggenberg palace & its gardens !!

The palace is open : April 30th-October 31st, 2005

Graz is quite a small city and most of the attractions for tourists are in the very centre of town.
From the train-station " Graz Hauptbahnhof" you may take the trams #1, 3, 6, or 7 and will be at the Hauptplatz within 7-10 minutes.
There you may first take a look at the townhall, the Landhaus and Landeszeughaus.
Take the small street opposite of Landhaus and you will get to Glockenspielplatz with the chimes & plenty of restaurants in the so-called "Bermuda-triangle"
You may continue walking through Färbergasse to Sporgasse, turn to the right and get to Hofgasse , see the Hofbäckerei and walk to Burg, Dom and Mausoleum
Walk back to Sporgasse and walk down to Hauptplatz again...
Such a walk could be done easily during a short stop-over of 2 hours !
Another possibility to explore Graz from Hauptplatz is to walk Sackstrasse and go to the Lift im Berg - go up Schlossberg and see the Uhrturm.
Also the Murinsel is just about 400 meters from the Hauptplatz.
On my picture : Schloss Eggenberg - it is into the other direction from the train-station, but you certainly need about 2 hours to get there, as the park is quite large and in a big distance to the trams. Leave a Comment

 Hauptplatz by aramat
The house in the middle (at the corner of the Hauptplatz and the Sporgasse) is called Luegg. It comes from the phrase "ums Eck lugen", meaning to peek around the corner. It's has been a busy spot since the 13th century. Leave a Comment

See the beautiful Rathaus, the Town Hall of Graz, which is situated in the Rathausplatz, The Town Hall Square. Rathaus is very huge building which occupies waste area of the very heart of the city.
By the time I have visited Graz the whole area around the Rathausplatz was under major reconstruction works. Leave a Comment

Glockenspieleplatz is small but very pitoresque city square, in my opinion, it is the most beautiful part in whole of the town of Graz. Many tourists visit it because of the famous carillon, a must see when in town, many others because of the oldest Grazer brewery which stands right next to it. It looks in particularly attractive during the night, as you can see on my pictures. Leave a Comment

In the middle of the bridge, there's a small theatre made from steel and it's free. Oh, the Mur-Insel, is like a ship which can rise and sink with the water level. Leave a Comment
