Schloss Eggenberg

The Schloss is supposed to be closed for the winter but the gardens and grounds are still accessible and it was all quiet and you can still see key features as you roam around the building itself. All these and the garden with peacocks roaming around for just 2 euros. It is very worth the trip out of town to take a stroll around.

Beautiful absolutely beautiful palace and gardens in which you can spend an entire day, sadly I didn't have that much time but nevertheless I enjoyed a lot visiting this place. Definitely a must see while visiting Graz.

This is the first destination my friend showed me in Graz. This is not the kind of extremely luxury type of palace. It is a lovely place with the right size, interesting history and significance. There are a few exhibitions with well presented information and artefacts. You wont be disappointed.

Nice. 2€ fee to see castle and gardens, not 15 like it says on google maps (that's probably for the museum which is closed in winter months).

Beautiful and huge place place. Unfortunately when I was there the weather was not very pleasant and still this building managed to make me feel its power. Inside there is exhibition perfect for the history lovers. The park is also worth seeing itself.

We visited during weekend , it was amazing experience. The line was maybe 5 minutes , so not a big deal . We didn’t buy tickets in advance , and I think there is no need . The entrance fee is very low and reasonable for all you can see .

Outside the castle many young families bring their kids here. Inside, l was quite impress with how the story of beginning..till the end of the dynasty.

Schloss Eggenberg is one exceptional castle surrounded with lovely spacious park full of beautiful trees and flowers.Paths which lead through the park are covered with little white pebbles which make a experience of walking through it so natural and calming. Beautiful sculptures are settled on some of significant spots. You can meet lovely peacocks all around which freely wander between visitors… Smart crows as a contrast to peacocks are crossing over meadows with their funny walk and talk.

The castle was very well kept, the paintings and tapestries were gorgeous. It was a time travel during the whole guided tour. Our guide was very nice and had tons of additional information to provide us during the tour keeping each room very interesting and full of discoveries. The little park surrounding the castle is also nice for a stroll and to see the roses garden. This castle is easily accessible by tramway from the city center which makes it a great day trip activity.
