About About the place

The Glockenspielhaus is a historic carillon located in the heart of Graz, Austria. Commissioned by a local brewer to promote his beer, the Glockenspiel features automated figures that perform a short dance accompanied by music at scheduled times throughout the day – typically 11:00 AM, 3:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. The spectacle involves two figures emerging from windows and moving on a platform, culminating in a rooster attempting to crow. While not as grand as some other glockenspiels in Europe, it remains a popular attraction and a delightful piece of Graz's cultural heritage. The adjacent Glock Brau cafe offers a convenient spot to enjoy local cuisine and beer while awaiting the performance.

This is the most scenic town in this city and we decided to take a weekend trip with our family and kids . The place is so nice and has so many interesting things to do and places to visit that you won’t be bored at all. Overall, it made up for a perfect family vacation and we are glad to have chosen this place.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

It was one the greatest experiences we had. We loved the place and more than the place the people were simply amazing. The hospitality and the warmth provided to us was beyond expectation and we are forever grateful.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

We booked a tour package and thought that this would be a good way to see all the major sites of the city but it turned out to be nothing great. The tour bus stopped at all places but had not much time to make us roam around the area. Seemed like they were in a rush all the time and were not good with the local knowledge and culture. It was also expensive, which was not a great thing.

It is an interesting place which reflects a lot of the native culture and about the people of this city. It is beautiful and has a stunning location.. It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.
