About Graz

Graz is a nice place. It's prettiest in the Innere Stadt, like the old city center. So probably stay there. Graz has a very lefty, alternative, hippe vibe to it. You'll see people wear lots of hemp and earth toned clothing and dreadlocks all over the place. Which is kinda fun for a change. The same people you'd see in Ubud or Koh Pha Ngan or Goa, you'll see in Graz. Speaking of the people, they're nice, but they won't smile at you in public mostly. I also wouldn't say it's easy to meet people here, but that's probably Austrian culture. Everyone already got their cliques. Oh one annoying thing, eveeeeeryone smokes here or that's how it feels like. You won't be able to sit anywhere outside without getting smoke in your face. In terms of activities, you can do quite a lot of hiking/walking around Graz in the hills and mountains. It's really beautiful if you just walk half an hour north east which we did. A nice place to work is Martin Auer, they have a few diff spots around town, really AMAZING coffee and baguette sandwhiches there, you won't believe how good. Also the Kunsthaus Graz has a great cafe with amazing food. So TL;DR Graz is a nice little cosy town, fun to stop by for a few days.

The people are so quiet, so one really laughs or expresses feelings, especially Austrian guys, it's like they have no soul and take life so so seriously. Huge egos, not enough love as kids.
