Graz Station

Arrived at Graz Station after about 5 and a half hours from Budapest!

While Graz isn’t a heavily visited tourist spot, I decided to come because I heard it’s not a small city.

I was considering Prague in the Czech Republic, but it seemed too rushed, so I chose a place within Austria for my trip, which turned out to be Graz 😊

Graz

The walk to the accommodation.

There’s a nightclub right next to our accommodation…?

I searched and it seems to be just a bar, but I decided to refrain from going out after dark because it might be scary ㅋ

Graz Accommodation

And here are some impressive shots of the accommodation.

Out of the four places we stayed, this was the most spacious and prettiest, but it also meant the heating wasn’t great, so it was a bit cold ㅋ

Graz

We went out for a late lunch, and the streets themselves were all beautiful.

The vibe of a quiet, small town moved me deeply……😭💓

Hamburger Factory

We searched for restaurants near our accommodation and found this highly-rated hamburger place.

Hamburger Factory

A very, very satisfying meal.

It was the most delicious food I’ve had since arriving on this trip (even better than the lamb steak…)

The staff were also very friendly!

Graz

A bridge with locks, reminiscent of Namsan Tower, which we encountered during our walk.

(For the sake of the photo) I wanted to actually hang one, but I was satisfied with just pretending to hang it ㅋ

Graz Art Museum

We visited the art museum that my mom wanted to see!!

Not because it’s the Graz Art Museum, but just because ㅋ

Graz Art Museum

The entrance fee was 12 euros per person.

It was quite an expensive amount, but since there wasn’t much else to do in Graz, we paid without hesitation!

Graz Art Museum

Although my understanding of the artworks was limited, I enjoyed appreciating them.

Graz

Now, on the way to Schlossberg, which I wanted to visit.

There were so many people passing by that it was hard to get a good photo ㅎ

Schlossberg

The clock tower visible above those stairs!

Schlossberg

There was a lift to go up comfortably, but since it was paid, we took the stairs.

It wasn’t an expensive fee, but it was good for exercise and enjoying the view~

Schlossberg

We stopped at various points to admire the scenery, so even though it was quite high, it wasn’t too difficult (of course, I took many breaks for photos).

Schlossberg

At the top of the stairs, we found a magnificent clock tower, a garden, and a breathtaking view.

The sunlight was strong, so I regret that the scenery I saw with my own eyes couldn’t be captured in the photos 😭

Schlossberg

First of all, that was just the end of the stairs, not the top of the hill?

We decided to go all the way up.

Seeing children laughing and rolling on the grass reminded me of a scene from a movie.

Schlossberg

A photo at an entrance whose purpose I don’t know.

The dog was also very gentle and cute ㅎㅎ

Schlossberg

The scenery here is also sad because it couldn’t be captured.

Schlossberg

Sitting on the outdoor cafe terrace and having a ginger ale was pure bliss.

After a very busy time in Budapest, it felt like a healing experience in Graz.

Of course, there was a little bit of hiking involved ㅋ

Schlossberg

Romantic buskers and a truly final scenic photo.

All the buildings had red roofs, which was interesting, and I heard it’s because they were all built a long time ago (probably).

Old Town

After descending, we went to the square in Old Town (where shopping streets are concentrated) because there was supposed to be a very delicious Asian food stall there.

There was some event happening in the square, but I’m not sure what it was.

Anyway, there were many stalls, but since it was around 5 PM, not many were open.

Fortunately, there was an Asian food place open among them ㅋ

We got some dakgangjeong-like food to go!

Old Town

On the way back to our accommodation, we saw a vending machine store.

It seems you purchase from the kiosk in the center, and it dispenses the item.

It was nice to see Buldak there too ㅎㅎ

Graz

Graz Accommodation

While having dinner, we booked our next train journey!

We used the Omio app, and it was really frustrating because the fares kept increasing over time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It’s a system where the fewer seats available, the more expensive it gets, but seriously, the price went up from what I saw just before, and when I searched with another ID, the price was different again ㅡㅡ

The app felt so scammy that we decided to buy tickets directly from the ticket machine at the station the next day.

Graz

Auer

Graz Second day, brunch for lunch.

The sandwiches looked too heavy, so I ordered simple bread and coffee.

I don’t know what they were called, but I ended up buying two pastries with jam (I only like strawberry jam).

Graz

Old Town

Is this magnet funny to me only? ㅋ

Old Town

Photo title: I wanted to take a picture with a tram too.

Old Town

While wandering through the shopping town, I discovered this.

As someone who doesn’t know much about brands, my heart skipped a beat when I entered the brand section.

Hugo was an expensive brand, huh?

All the brands there were pretty, but they were all too expensive, so I couldn’t buy anything;

And I took a picture of this wallet because I was captivated by it, planning to buy it later.

Spoiler: I ended up buying it at the Vienna store.

More details in the Vienna travelogue later…

Graz Station

And the train tickets that drove us crazy yesterday.

We got them at Graz Station!!

The price was similar to what we saw on the app, considering the time that had passed ^^

Everyone, please book your train tickets in advance…

Willa Plus

On the way back to our accommodation, we stopped by Willa Plus to buy some wine and snacks.

Best Food Grill

And some kebabs to fill our stomachs!

This place also had excellent reviews and had even relocated and expanded ㅋㅋ

But it was really delicious…

It’s like a more filling Subway.

Graz Accommodation

Our accommodation’s terrace seen from the outside ㅎ

The structure, which would be impossible in Korea, made it feel more romantic…

But it was too cold to actually go out and do anything ㅋ

Graz Accommodation

Finally opened the Tokaji wine we bought in Budapest!!!!

The cheese and fruit were just accompaniments…

It was such a delicious wine that I regretted only buying one bottle because it was heavy.

If someone told me they were going to Budapest again, I would definitely ask them to buy it for me 🙏

And the kebab we ate was truly delicious.

Even half of it was filling, but it was so good that I ate it all ㅋ

Graz Station

And on the third day, we departed for Salzburg!! (Abrupt development)

And the luggage space on the train was only overhead, which was very inconvenient, but if you put your luggage in the spaces between the seats like this, it’s super convenient!!!!!!!
