Austria's 'Little Castle'—Experience the Passage of Time in the Old Town of Graz

Graz is called Austria's 'Little Castle' because the word 'Graz' comes from the Slavic language, originally meaning a small castle. Today, Graz has become Austria's second-largest city, with the Mur River, a tributary of the Danube, flowing through it. The old town is located on the eastern bank of the Mur River—this is also where the attractions of Graz are concentrated. 🌟 Highlights: The Armoury Museum Graz is the hometown of Schwarzenegger, who was an actor before becoming a governor, and it happens to have the world's largest armoury museum, which is as tough in style as Schwarzenegger himself.
