schlossberg park

... it is in the center of the city a green oasis with the Schlossberg right next to it. Playgrounds, fountain, with occasionally concerts.

I visited the park in the summer and in the winter. It is beautiful no matter the season. Amazing view, clean air and peaceful atmosphere. We went to Sky bar and had the best chocolate strawberry cake!

The park is lovely even in winter time. It offers a great view of the town. You can access it by going up the stairs from the old town. The other way is to access it by the funicular. I was there in December, so it must be beautiful in the spring or summer time. It is right under the Uhrturm.

The visit of the park is natural part of visiting the Uhrturm. There is calm atmosphere, many places to seat and rest, big amphitheatre, castle and Clock tower. There is the best Christmas market in the city during advent time.

Amble through the heart of Graz. Take the paths up the hill through this historic landmark. The key places are well documented in several languages. On a warm day, it's heaven.

an easy trip with a tramway followed by a short walk..and , then a superb park and this white castle with some orange brown structures.Wonderful collection of medieval art and private rooms very well maintained ( this with a guide ).

The park in itself is very nice to walk around in. You will come tothe clock tower. Walk up to the park if you have strong legs.You can also go up and down by a lift or a funicula.You can go up by the lift and down with the funicula or theopposite way.

Took the funicular to the top-level great views.Take the time to walk around and see all the sites. (Get a free guide at any hotel or tourist info site) Well worth the time.

The fit people take the 260 or so steps up from the old town, others take either the funicular or lift. I opted for the lift at €1.10! Good view over Graz centre. There is an old clock tower and bell tower and an old arena from 1578. There is a jolly "bandstand" style area which is obviously popular for weddings and the ensuing reception held in a restaurant further up with a great view over the town.

We walked up which was quite nice...a good work-out pre-dinner. The grounds are very nice and overlook the town of Graz...and far into the distance.We took the funicular down due to a huge down-pour. It left us just steps away from our hotel.

For some reason my wife decided it would be a good idea to race to the top. She would take the steps and I would take the funicular the winner gets a beer so she said. I was there 15-20 minutes before she was as the funicular was only about 50m from the hotel door and took 2 minutes to get to the top. Anyway it was well worth it. Great views of the city - some interesting things to see (including a small amphitheater with retractable roof) on top and a couple of bars and restaurants up there too. It was fairly quiet when we were there so can imagine being not so pleasant on busy days. We took the elevator back down (she had learned her lesson) and I am still waiting on the beer I was promised!

A visit to Schlossberg Park is a must when you visit Graz.A trip on the almost vertical funicular rail to the top, and when you get there, the views are superb. There are a couple of bars, and places to eat as well as nice walks and sights.

This is a must see for travelers to Graz. You can go up a hill walk path if you like a little exercise or you can take a rail tram up. The view at top gives a full 360 view of the city as well as cooler winds which are very nice. We had a drink at the restaurant (open air) at top as well as had dinner at the nicer restaurant one evening near the theater. The food at the latter is 1st class and elegant.

Take the funicular up and the elevator down for about 4 euro. Lovely park. Terrific vistas. Liked the various street musicians.

To be honest I got a little disappointed when I got up there because I was expecting to see the castle!! It turns out that the castle was destroyed and there's only some remains left.Anyways is worth visiting, from the top of the mountain you can have the best views from Graz. You can walk all the way up, that's a nice walk thru the woods, or you can take the Tram.I went on the spring so all the gardens were very very beautiful.They have some cafes and restaurants up there where you can enjoy the view, also if you want you can your own food and have some picnic on the gardens!!
