The Hauptplatz is the city heart, with lot's of restaurants, shops and others. Most of the main sights are also nearby. If you're in Graz, it's actually quite unavoidable to go through here.

The Hauptplatz was filled with stalls for the Christmas season and was beautifuly decorated and festive. Gluhwein and lots of food stalls added to the great experience.

The Hauptplatz is the center of the city in Graz, Austria. It is a great area to sit and people watch at one of the many cafes. The fountains are beautiful and sometimes (if you're lucky) you may see a performance or a wedding by the town hall.

THE central location of Graz. Jakominiplatz is a short walk away, but here it is slightly less crowded and leads the way to all the little side streets. The fountain is beautiful as is the Rathaus.
