After a quick 2 hour drove from Vienna we arrive in Graz, Austria's second largest city. We are staying at the Schlossberghotel. we got the executive suite and it is something special! Graz had embraced the new architecture alongside the old architecture philosophy and the place we are staying at is definitely on the new architecture side of that coin. It has floor to ceiling windows. It looks out over the Mur river and the cool structure that is in the center of the river. This floating café bridge was intended to be temporary but it is so cool that they have kept it in place.
We have the apartment that has the balcony facing front
Bedroom #1
Looking out towards the river Mur
Of course church steeples

The floating café bridge.
This is our balcony. It is 44 steps from one end to the other
This is the art museum building
I can check the temperature by looking out my window
The sign on the top
Kitchen with stovetop, and dishwasher
Complimentary Champagne for our "anniversary"
We will drink the bubbly later
Glass everywhere
Across the river was a wide variety of buildings
Including this cool clock
Across the street is where the funicular goes...
...to the top of the hill. You can see a person taking the stairs on the lower left
Fall is strating to show itself
Crazy perspective on this building
Reflected in the glass of my room
Great paint job on the tram
This entire structure is floating and is 185 feet long
It must be getting warmer
