This is the interior of an interesting museum called "Neue Galerie"in the very centre of Graz, and even when you are not at all interested in the quite frequently changing exhibitions, this Gallery might be of interest for you, as it has a unique baroque staircase and a really beautiful fresco on top of these stairs.
Just enter the house, NO need at all to care about the ticket-box next to the entrance, the exhibitions are on 1st and 2nd floor and the stair-case may be entered freely and without restrictions during the day !! - You will need an extra-wideange-lense in order to get a picture of that rather narrow staircase.
The adress of the gallery is A-8010 Graz - Sackgasse 16
It is the street leading from Hauptplatz to Kriegsteig.
The exhibitions of the museum in Neue Galerie are open :
Tuesday-Sunday 10.00a.m. - 06.00p.m., thursday untill 08.00p.m. Leave a Comment

 open-air-museum Stübing - 18km
north of Graz by globetrott
Freilichtmuseum / open-air-museum Stübing
In a large area in a side-valley you will find 90 traditional buildings from all parts of Austria, that were re-constructed again in Stübing. All of these buildings are fully furnished and after having payed the entrance-fee of 7,50 Euros, you may walk around on your own. - The whole tour takes more than 2 hours.
You may take the "Watzke"bus #110 or bus #131 from Lendplatz in Graz, or you may drive a few Km on the highway - direction Bruck an der Mur and leave at the 2nd exit of the highway ! Leave a Comment

 The Open Air Theatre on
Schlossberg by globetrott
That theatre offers a wide stage and it has plenty of small balconies and another 300 seats to watch the performances.
During nice weather-conditions the roof could be slided away. When you click on my picture, you may see that the boxes / balconies are quite simple and without seats, maybe the visitors will stand there or come with their private camping-chairs.
During the day you may walk inside that theatre, and when you are lucky you will find one of the boxes unlocked. Leave a Comment

K&K Hofbäckerei Edegger Tax is a traditional bakery and confectionary in Graz / Hofgasse with a long tradition :
Don't miss this great traditional bakery - HOFbäckerei is a title that only those backeries were allowed to use, that were delivering their goods to the royal court, and of course the taste of the emperor was a certain guarantee for perfect goods and service !
Specialities like "Sissi-Busserl" and "Kaiser-Zwieback" may be tasted there still today !
Hofbäckerei Edegger Tax with the golden royal eagle on top of their entrance-gate - that is certainly the most beautiful of all shop-facades in Graz. When you enlarge my picture, you may see some of the fine wooden decorations and inlaids, the whole facade was recently restored.
Be prepared that this bakery is a bit more expensive than others in that area !
Click on the link below and take a look at their interesting web-page !!
The adress is : Hofbäckerei Edegger A 8010 Graz Hofgasse 6 Leave a Comment

Herzoghof - also called Gemaltes Haus is the name of the building on my picture and it has certainly one of the most beautiful facades in Herrengasse ! The building dates back to the year 1360 and was used by the Habsburg family, in 1742 the facade of today was made by Johann Mayer and shows gods of the roman and greek mythology ! When you click on my picture you may see the fine details of the frescos that actually cover all of the building's front facade.
Herzoghof is in Herrengasse Nr. 3, just about 100 meters from the Hauptplatz / main-square and the Rathaus, but at the opposite side of the street.
Best time to make a photograph of Herzoghof is the afternoon, when the sun will shine directely on most of the facade and maybe at night, when it is lighted. Leave a Comment

 Palais Saurau & a turque
warrior in the facade by globetrott, 4 more photos
This building dates back to the year 1566 and first of all you might see an interesting sculpture at the top of the facade : a turque with a sword and a shield, who seems to be looking out of a window on top. Make sure, you will not miss this lovely decoration - you will pass by it on the left of Sporgasse, shortly before Karmeliterplatz, where the steep part of Sporgasse is finished and the street gets rather flat again.
Palais Saurau is in private posession, but during the day you may also take a quick look into the beautiful innercourt with plenty of nice medieval arcades freely and without restrictions. Leave a Comment
