Cities and towns in Styria

Exciting stories of origin, buildings designed by renowned artists and culinary temptations you won't find anywhere else: This is what makes the cities and towns of Styria unique.

One-of-a-kind municipalities as part of a greater whole

Almost 300 cities and towns make up the multi-faceted cultural landscape of Austria's greenest federal state. Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – Graz with its Old Town and Schloss Eggenberg as well as the Semmering Railway – enchant visitors. Murau, Leoben, Judenburg, Bruck an der Mur, Hartberg or Bad Radkersburg have been considered important hubs for trade for many centuries, impressing out-of-towners with the beauty of their historic centres. And then there's 6 thermal spas in the Styrian Spa Country whose soft, healing waters promote well-being and contribute to health and vitality.

What's more, the various towns also cater to the culinary tastes of their visitors. St. Ruprecht an der Raab in East Styria, for instance, has devoted itself entirely to the cultivation and preparation of the scarlet runner bean with its nutty, peppery nuances. Leutschach in South Styria, on the other hand, is home to numerous wine-growing areas where exquisite wines are made. At the same time, it's also Austria's largest hop-growing region.
