Today after German class, some of my friends and I stopped by Stadtpark (the city park). Below is my mentor Johannes who has helped me survive my first few days.
We then climbed the 260+ stairs of Schlossberg. It is a hill rising up over the main platz in Graz, with a fort and clock tower from (I think) the 16th century on top. Now there are gardens with gazebos, shops with food and souveniers, and views of the entire city. The climb was worth it because the views were amazing!
