Digital scavenger hunt in Graz – your personal ixpiritour

🌟 This is what awaits you

Are you ready to look behind the beautiful facades of Graz's UNESCO-listed Old Town? This interactive scavenger hunt will take you from the main square to hidden corners, across the heights of the Schlossberg hill, and into the imperial heart of Graz. You'll not only visit the famous landmarks but also discover details that others walk past without a second glance. You'll truly experience the city!

Discover why the Styrian panther breathes fire, where a staircase splits and reconciles, and which house only pretends to have windows. Whether with friends, family, or as a team event – Graz is waiting to be explored by you!

🗺️ Your Highlights

The guardian over the city: Start your adventure at the main square and make your way up to the legendary clock tower to enjoy the best view over the red rooftops.
Architectural wonders: Find the double spiral staircase – a Gothic masterpiece that is unique in the world.
Imperial Codes: Can you crack the centuries-old riddle AEIOU , left behind by Emperor Frederick III throughout the city, for example at Graz Castle or Graz Cathedral ?
Dark secrets: Discover the "plague image" and find out which three catastrophes once plagued Graz.
Sweet and acoustic temptations: A stop at the city's oldest bakery is a must, as is an acoustic temptation.
The grand finale: Be impressed by the Roman gods at the "Painted House" and uncover the architectural tricks of the Baroque era.

🕵️ The Story

Graz is more than just pretty streets. Emperors once ruled a vast empire here. But they left behind traces that still raise questions today. Why does Saint Catherine carry a broken wheel? What's the story behind the "Emperor in a Nightshirt" in Freedom Square? And why is one building facade teeming with Greek gods? Discover the "City Crown," solve riddles, and uncover the secrets hidden between the cobblestones of Herrengasse and the walls of the Mausoleum.

End point: Herrengasse.
Flexibility: You set the pace! Take breaks for a coffee, an ice cream, or Styrian fried chicken whenever you want. The scavenger hunt awaits you.

ixpirity - Tips

1. The legendary "bread roll cult" at Frankowitsch 🥪

An absolute must for visitors to Graz! At the Frankowitsch delicatessen in Stempfergasse (just a few minutes from the tour's end point), locals traditionally meet for a "Pfiff" of beer and their famous open-faced sandwiches. Whether it's roast beef, egg spread, or chicken salad – here you'll experience the Graz way of life up close, standing up. But be warned: it can get crowded!

2. Baroque splendor & cheeky peacocks: Eggenberg Palace 🦚

Take tram line 1 out to Eggenberg Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Stroll through the vast palace gardens, encounter the free-roaming peacocks (the true rulers of the park!), and be impressed by the palace's 365 windows. A perfect place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

3. Get out into nature: The Schöckl mountain ⛰️

If you want to see Graz from a bird's-eye view, the city's "local mountain" is calling. The Schöckl (1,445 m) is ideal for a short break. You can hike up or take a leisurely cable car ride. At the top, fresh mountain air, rustic mountain huts, and a 360-degree panorama that stretches as far as Slovenia and Hungary await you. A true Alpine experience, just 30 minutes from the city center.
