Explore Graz live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Innere Stadt is worth asking about: the old town around Hauptplatz and the cathedral.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

What a live session shows

  • Schlossberg A wooded hill at the centre of the city, its fortress destroyed in 1809, leaving only two structures standing.
  • Uhrturm The clock tower on Schlossberg, its hour hand larger than the minute hand so it can be read from the streets below.
  • Hauptplatz The main square, anchored by a statue of Archduke Johann and ringed by pastel facades rebuilt across five centuries.
  • Landhaus A Renaissance courtyard building from the sixteenth century that still houses the Styrian regional parliament.
  • Landeszeughaus The largest historic armoury still standing in its original building anywhere, holding around thirty-two thousand pieces of arms and armour.
  • Graz Cathedral (Grazer Dom) A Gothic cathedral with a faded exterior fresco depicting the plagues that struck the city in 1480.
  • Mausoleum of Ferdinand II A domed Baroque mausoleum beside the cathedral, planned by the emperor himself well before his death.
  • Kunsthaus Graz A biomorphic contemporary art museum locals nicknamed the Friendly Alien, built for the city's year as European Capital of Culture in 2003.

Good to know about Graz

Do I need to be in Graz to join a session?

How long does a session last?

Between 0.5 and 1.3 hours, depending on the guide and the topic.

Guides here offer German and English; pick the one you want when you book.

What if I lose connection partway through?

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up.

Can I ask the guide anything, or is it a fixed script?

Anything. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
