★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Location: the walk up there is pretty nice, as you get to choose three streets to get there. You either pass the city park with its huge green gardens, you can come from the oldest street called 'Sporgasse' with lots of little local shops or you come from a small street which passes the mausoleum of King Ferdinand 2nd (an absolute must see, now that it has been renovated) and 'dome', which is the most important church in Graz with lots of history.
Attention: do not go up there expecting a special view. The visit is indeed just about the stairs itself.
Experience: once you get there you'll be assisted with some flyers explaining to you, what makes those stairs such an architectural masterpiece. Spoiler Alert -> the architect back in time didn't knew if this new construction will hold on or not. He just went for it and got lucky.
Whilst you walk up the stairs, pay attention to the core of those circling stairs. After the first rotation the core part in the middle of each spiral was left out, which was the tricky part of the construction. After that it's just the stone-plated holding the construction together.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located in in left corner of the courtyard of the Graz Town Crown. Not spectacular but a fascinating idea and construction. This double spiral staircase was built in 1500 by an in known masterbuilder during the reign of emperor Maximilian, the “Last Night”. There are numerous signs on the structure from the stonemasons you participated in the construction. It is not the only one of its kind in Central Europe but probably the most significant.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are nearby come see the double stairs and the "seed of Graz", and nearby face statues" and Graz snowman. All these attractions are free and worth the walk :-) (best are the double stairs).
