The capital city of Steiermark is Graz, and gained worldwide recognition in 2003 earning the title of the “European Cultural Capital”.
The Green Heart of Austria
Between the unspoilt nature of the Dachstein glacier in the north, and the picturesque winery region in the south, lies the second-largest province and one of the most attractive holiday destinations of Austria – Steiermark. The vast forests, along with a mild Mediterranean climate, guarantee the province is green for more than half the year, thereby providing fantastic outdoor activities for the whole family. As a dramatic contrast, in winter, snow coverage ensures endless winter holiday possibilities.
