About Straßgang
Where to stay in Straßgang
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Straßgang keeps its beds at the foot of the Buchkogel, in houses and small places that suit walkers heading up the hill rather than anyone chasing the centre of Graz. The Florianiberg is the other pull. Rooms near the Rupertikirche and Saint Leopold III Church are residential and quiet, and the hills begin where the streets end.
Book central Graz for nightlife.
About Straßgang
What are the main landmarks in Straßgang?
Three churches and two hills. Filialkirche hl. Florian, the Rupertikirche and Saint Leopold III Church make up the built heritage of Straßgang, each a parish marker rather than a monument pulling crowds out from central Graz.
The hills take the rest. Buchkogel and Florianiberg stand over the district, and the walking ground they carry is what draws most visitors out here.
What is the history of Straßgang?
Three parishes anchor the record. Graz took Straßgang in as its sixteenth city district, a unit of Styria whose ground runs from the parish churches on the flat up to the Buchkogel and the Florianiberg. The hill and the church share a name.
Filialkirche hl. Florian stands under the Florianiberg, and Saint Leopold III Church and the Rupertikirche complete a set of three that accounts for most of the district's built record.
