Personal comments
If you are in Graz you absolutely have to go to Las Tapas, a wonderful pub in the center of the city. If you are going to have a coffee you find the best one by Beanery, near the city park. My favourite cinema? Schubert! Why? Because it is in a "strategic" position, in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
