Our Second Week: Highlights

Day Trip to Graz

Day trip to Graz with our Austrian colleagues

We spend a day in Graz, a city in the South of Austria, where we engage with the old and the new: The history of a 500-year old house and how daily life was like for its inhabitants intrigue us. Let’s just say we now appreciate even more living in the 21st century with all its amenities.

New sights! New sounds! New experiences: We climb an architectural experiment and art gallery called “Friendly Alien.”

Art and Architecture in Vienna

Back to Vienna, we dive into Art Nouveau. It is us and only us inside the Church at Steinhof, another special place to which our tour guide Walter can open doors.

Austrian Media

In addition to visiting different Austrian television broadcasters, we are able to stop by the offices of “Der Standard”, a daily newspaper.
