From the clock tower to the city beach
This bike tour shows you how many faces Graz can have over twelve kilometers. It begins between the Murinsel and Schloßberg with the large pictures of the old town. It then leads past Renaissance courtyards, cathedral, opera and city park out into modern, sporty Graz.
The bike deliberately stops at the city beach: time for a break by the water, to take a deep breath and stretch out your feet. We return along the Mur via Augarten, Kunsthaus and Lendplatz.
Plan around two and a half hours - including stops and a leisurely break. Walking and pedestrian areas are of course passed by pushing.

Route notes
The stories are intended to be listened to while standing. To do this, stop in a safe place and do not block bike paths or sidewalks. You push your bike in pedestrian zones and everywhere where cycling is not allowed. This is especially true in sections of the city park. In the city center, pay attention to tram tracks and cross lanes only in safe places. Openings, construction sites and local traffic routes are subject to change; Therefore, always pay attention to the signs on site.
