It's prettiest in the Innere Stadt, like the old city center. So probably stay there. Graz has a very lefty, alternative, hippe vibe to it. You'll see people wear lots of hemp and earth toned clothing and dreadlocks all over the place. Which is kinda fun for a change. The same people you'd see in Ubud or Koh Pha Ngan or Goa, you'll see in Graz. Speaking of the people, they're nice, but they won't smile at you in public mostly.

The city is quite nice and calm, surrounded by nature and tall hills. There is a really nice river embankment in the city where you can walk around or run. Take in mind that almost all the shops are completely closed on Sundays, which is still very unusual to me. Augustiner bräu is a really atmospheric bar which can recommend to visit, and Hangar-7 museum from Red Bull which is free to check out is also quite nice.

Overall most everything is reasonably priced, but not the bargain I was told it is.
