Send Flowers to Graz, Austria

The second city of Austria has a southern feel: red-tiled roofs, Renaissance courtyards, pumpkin seed oil on every menu and a climate mild enough for café terraces from early spring. The Schlossberg hill with its clock tower rises straight out of the old town, a World Heritage Site, and the river Mur divides the historic left bank from the districts of Lend and Gries, now full of studios, bars and the modern Kunsthaus.

Graz is above all a university town. Four universities make students a large part of the population, concentrated in Geidorf and St. Leonhard. Families prefer Andritz, Mariatrost, Waltendorf and St. Peter on the green edges, and Eggenberg in the west has its baroque palace and park. The university hospital, the LKH, is in the east of the city, and a ward name is needed for deliveries there.

Flower delivery in Graz is next-day, Monday to Saturday: order before midnight local time and a Styrian florist prepares the bouquet by hand. Nothing is delivered on Sundays or public holidays. Styria is called the green heart of Austria, and local taste runs to natural, seasonal arrangements. Advent is celebrated intensely here, with markets on many squares and a nativity scene carved from ice in the Landhaus courtyard.
