Uhrturm

Beautiful landmark. Cool lift to get up to the tower at a decent price. Once at the top you get rewarded with the most amazing views. It's even possible to go on a massive slide to get you back down. If you are in Graz or anywhere nearby go and have a look. You won't be disappointed. Very, very nice. Give it a try it's lovely.

♐️ I did a short research about The Clock Tower (Uhrturm) in Graz, Austria 1. Location: The tower is located on Schlossberg Hill, a central and historic hill in the heart of Graz. It offers one of the best panoramic views of the city. 2. History: • The Clock Tower dates back to the 13th century, although its current appearance is from the 16th century after renovations. • It is one of the oldest landmarks in Graz still standing today. 3. Unique Features: • One curious feature: the clock hands are reversed from the usual design. • The larger hand shows the hours, and the smaller one shows the minutes. • This is because originally the clock only displayed hours, and the minute hand was added later. • The clock face is large and highly visible, making it a recognizable symbol across the city. 4. Current Use: • While it’s no longer used as a watchtower, the Clock Tower is now a beloved symbol of Graz and a top tourist attraction. • Visitors can access it by walking up the Schlossberg stairs, taking a funicular, or using a glass elevator inside the hill. 5. Cultural Significance: • The Uhrturm is an icon of Graz’s identity. • It’s often featured on souvenirs, city logos, and is beautifully lit up at night. Very beautiful to visit specially in sunset time ✨

Good view panorama the city. Iconic Tower Lock with garden . You can choose climb up or get the lift ( need to pay )

The Clock Tower on the hill if one of the most important landmarks of Graz. When I was doing my research about this city, this was the highlight of every picture. The Clock Tower carefully watches over the city, as you get a splendid panoramic 360° view of the city. You have a few options to chose from on how to get to it, but I highly recommend taking the funicular as it's the most scenic route. Apart from that, if you're up to it, taking a hike on the many stairs is another option. The photos don't do it justice, you have to visit this landmark for yourself and learn the history of this place.

Super cute small hike up the stairs. It took me about 7 minutes to get to the top. I would say give yourself 15-20 minutes if you aren't used to hikes. It gives you time for a small break as you tread up the stairs.

Very nice, go see it, and the view is nice! The stairs are not so bad to climb. It's free.

We enjoyed the well-kept and fragrant place thanks to the roses and other flowers in the area. We of course enjoyed the wonderful view of the entire city from the height. To be honest, the clock tower, the clock, did not make a special impression on us

Very old clock tower with great panoramic view and a wonderful garden. It is very nice for colourful photos. Something that was notable, opposite to the usual, the big arrow of the clock shows the hours, and the small one - the minutes

The Uhrturm reopened its door to visit the clockwork inside. (Fee: EUR 2) Formerly it was possible to visit the parapet walk (Wehrgang) but it was closed due security aspects.
