Graz
Southern flair in Austria’s second largest city.
What a telling name for the second biggest city in Austria (Slav. „gradec“=castle): Due to its location, Graz has been a major fortress combating intruding Ottomans for centuries. The world’s largest collection of medieval weapons is one of the city’s major attractions, which, of course, you will get to see on this trip!

Retz
Charming market town in the “wine district” of Lower Austria.

The whole square has a distinctive Southern feel to it. It is lined with beautiful houses: “Verderberhaus” mimics Venetian Renaissance, other houses are examples of biedermeier or baroque architecture…
There's another surprise: You can cross the square subterraneanly and take a look at the largest wine cellar in Central Europe (21 km long, up to 30 m deep). Up until 500 years ago, it was used to store wine from all over the region. It is an unforgettable experience!

Linz

The steeple of Linz's cathedral was planned to be higher than Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral. That however, did not happen due to Viennese vigilance. There's also a medieval castle with a marvelous park featuring Austria's oldest church: St. Martin's church.
