Day 7: GRAZ
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
Today has been a day of total relaxation in Graz. We are going to tell you what to see and do in Graz in one day.
We have started at 9 in the morning, leaving our hotel, the Hotel Mercure Graz City, in search of a cafeteria for breakfast.
It is the only hotel in Austria where we do not have breakfast included and the price is 14 euros per person, so we have decided that it is best to go downtown and eat there a good portion of sacher cake and start tasting this famous typical cake .

And so we finished in full center of Graz, on a terrace, having breakfast cake and coffee, all great.
After this and having rested for a while, we have gone to do the route we have in the brochure that we received yesterday at the hotel, the route of the old town of Graz.
Graz
We have been wandering above all, since the city invites to that.
Graz
We have been amazed at the amount of people who ride bicycles and the crowded terraces at any time.
City center
So to continue with the customs, after spending 2 hours wandering around, we have sat down for a drink in one of the main streets.

After this, we have gone for a walk along the banks of the river, to go later to the restaurant "Las Tapas", which we have seen in the center.

There we have had enough of a number of tapas and with a full stomach and wanting to continue with the relaxing day, we have gone to the hotel in Graz to rest. In the afternoon it has started to rain
It is the first day we experience how it can start raining when it was 2 minutes ago that it was a sun of justice, so we decided to wait until it stopped to come out again.
In the end we left at 7 in the afternoon and we went straight to the center, to the elevator that leads to the Clock Tower of Graz.

There we have been taking pictures and contemplating the city from above for a while.
